Feather Fiesta Days '11

Even though I'm not a resident of Oroville anymore, I still make it a point to go to Feather Fiesta Days every year! I am a person of tradition, and this is one tradition that I look forward to every year. We sit in the same spot, at the beginning. We cheer and yell for everyone that participates in the parade. The kids get a ton of candy. I love yelling to the banner and flag girls "Smile ladies!" Because I heard it so many times myself when I was a banner girl. I even love the smell of the street sweeper coming after the parade. After the parade, we go and buy an over priced tri-tip sandwhich in the food court and walk around and look at all of the flea market items. We then walk around and look at the old cars. And I love running into people I once knew along time ago. This year, Jason worked the night before and couldn't come. So the kids and I ventured up to Oroville without him! They were all very well behaved and I couldn't have asked for a funner day! Here are some pics...
Ezra's 1st parade. He loved it too... especially when grandpa and Uncle Spencer held him.


The Crew


This is a classic picture of my mom combing one of my kid's hair. I never "do" my kids' hair really. I just brush them out. So my mom is always trying to do one of my kids' hair. I love it! What would we do without grandmas?

This year, instead of my brother in law Danny driving his land cruiser, my niece Jordann and her daughter Hailie took care of it for him.

I told the kids to pick out their favorite cars so we could take a picture of them next to it for daddy. I thought it was interesting how they each picked out one that is so much like their personality.




And here's the fire breathing dragon made out of old car parts.
