After an evening of fun at Joanna and Nate's Sunday say Plainview's big celebration; corn on the cobb days with the central attraction being free corn dipped in butter being handed out to everyone. Last year the celebration was washed out by the record floods and before that we'd never been in town for the celebration but this year we figured we'd better go, besides Jessica was in the parade.
Our friends Claire, Vincent and Lucas brought some other friends, Lina and Trixian (sorry if I spelled that wrong) so mid morning we headed down to the park for the festivities, with Grandma and Grandpa along as well. There was a petting zoo and jumping castle and a few other attractions for kids as well as food stalls and the playground equipment. Lina especially loved playing on the jumping castle but I think his mom had an even better time. Poor little Lucas was a bit under the weather but soldiered on like a trooper. By the time the parade rolled by it was hot, and wouldn't you believe it Jessica was almost at the end of the parade. We sat in the only place we could find any shade and it wasn't long before the kids figured out how they were supposed to grab all of the lollies and candy being thrown for them. Despite the heat I think the kids had a good time. The worst part of it was that we all missed Jessica when she finally came past. She was over on the other side of the street and not one of us spotted her. Oh well, maybe next year.
