Pioneer Picnic

If you are familiar with Brownsville you know about Pioneer Picnic, the town's celebration honoring those who settled in our community many years ago. The annual event is actually Oregon's longest running celebration, now in it's 124th year. This is only our 3rd year attending, but it already seems like a tradition we've been long doing. The weekend started off on Friday with the kiddie parade, where Weston watched our neighbor Stephanie (second from last) do some cheers. After the parade she split her popsicle in half and shared it with him, much to his delight. Then we headed down to the park for some games. Weston was really interested in the bouncy houses and slide, but he wasn't brave enough to go it alone. ....pretty high up here.........help please.We finished off the afternoon by participating in a "Walk for the Cure". I was hoping to do the 3k, but the terrain was a little rough and narrow for a double stroller (yes, I broke down and purchased a double stroller), so we opted for the 1k. Weston walked (or ran) the whole route too.Then came the Grand Parade on Saturday morning. We met up with our neighbors again, who saved us a great spot downtown.
Danny, Tyge, Monica and Sky hung out in the back row.
