Bah-Bah's Tractor

 First off, I need to wish my mother a happy birthday.  Wherever you are, Mama, know that we all love you and miss you more than words could ever express. 

  We had a wonderful week up in Wyalusing staying at my Dad's house.  I absolutely love showing the twins everything I grew up with -- and absolutely love watching them experience new things.  The one thing they both really enjoyed was riding on Bah-Bah's tractor.  Now, if you're wondering who Bah-Bah is, this is the name that Cameron has bestowed upon my dad.  I LOVE IT!  It's kind of funny because when Nick, my nephew, was small, he called my dad Bubbles.  Too cute!

  The twins had lots of fun just playing on the tractor at the house but then they got to ride in a wagon pulled by the tractor in the annual Wyalusing Parade.  And they even got their picture in the paper!!!  Too exciting!!!

Look at that smile on my Dad's face...so happy.

Our little girl-baby.

Yes, people.  If you didn't know, it's very common place to park your tractors in the front yard in Wyalusing!

And now, onto the parade!!!

Lily and her mom and Nicki Stanton did a fantastic job at decorating!  The theme was "The Circus!"

Cameron says, "Let's get this party started!!"

Yes, that is Shorty as our lion.  Joey was a pretty good lion tamer.

A lot of candy was eaten before the parade started!!!!

Every little boys dream -- to be able to sit and watch many, many trucks drive by!

I think someone was getting bored waiting for the parade to start!

Here we come!!  Right down Main Street, Wyalusing!

Action shot!

My dad was in his glory!

This guy was pretty fantastic.

Love how excited everyone is!!  Yeah for Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa!

Cameron really loves his cousin, Joshy.

Driving the tractor back up the  mountain...Another parade in the books!

This was pretty neat -- we were featured in the Rocket Courier twice the day after the parade.  One for being in the parade....and then another picture from 29 years ago when my brother, my dad, and I were in the parade.  Really neat -- my dad was so happy.

And finally....Michael took some really neat pictures of the tractor that we're going to get printed so my dad can hang them in his house.

Such great memories....
