"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences. "

Dairy Days

That's right, welcome to Idaho! Evidently we have moved to the dairy center of Idaho & boy do they know how to celebrate it! Yesterday they kicked off the celebration with the "Real Dairy Parade." Here a recap of first experience...it sure was interesting!

The parade is just the beginning of the festivities. They have a huge festival in the park, the "Dairy Dash" (a bike race for the kids), the "Milk Run" (5k race), "Milk Mocktail" contest, a COW WOW art contest (there is cow art everywhere!), and of course a carnival. Unfortunately, by the time the parade was over we were all feeling horrible and by this morning all have full blown colds! I am so bummed that we can't check out the rest of the festivities. I guess partaking of Milkshakes will be the extent of our partiness this weekend. :(
