Yee Haw!

Western Days in full swing! Being in the school system now, we have more events to fill our celebrations. Friday Little Lion's school kicked off the weekend bright and early. I volunteered to help out and of course signed up for Kindergarten. Well, I learned I really should have signed up for the first grade ~ I was working while he was going to all the different stations. I know for next year.

Little Pumpkin enjoying the morning sunshine before the kids started coming. We were working at the sack races.

Little Lion with a few of his class. Just like his daddy ~ right in the middle of the girls! There are only 7 of them in his class!

Family shot! So glad my partner at the sack races offered to snap a picture of us.

They were so cute in their western duds! As much I as suppress it ~ I think I truly am a cowgirl at heart. *wink*

Saturday is the real deal! At the heart of Western Days is the parade; Mark likes to refer to it as the "East Texas candy throwing festival". We shared the events with two other families this year.

Little Lion, Little Pumpkin and our friend AJ cowboyed up.

At the parade: AJ did not appreciate the noise.

What a crew! They were prepared for the loot.

What a happy girl! What's not to love about people throwing candy at you?!?

The D family had to head out early, but check out their bounty! Miss R's bag is full too.

Even sharing our spot with 2 other fams, we still ended up with 6 pounds of candy! Bring on the trick or treaters; we are ready! *smile*
