OH MY HECK - IT'S MULE DAY!!!

Clayton and I took a trip to Star, Idaho to visit Uncle Steve and Aunt Pat. Star, Idaho had it's biggest event of the year... Mule Day.

They had a parade. Of the 15 or so entries in the parade 2 random farmers just drove their tractors through the parade. The highlight of the parade was the Star High School marching band. Not only was it the highlight of the parade it was the highlight of these high school kids lives, something they had worked all year for.

And as in Uncle Steve's words "this was the biggest thing that would happen to this kid in his whole life."

After we celebrated Mule Day, Clayton realized he was at his ultimate vacation home.

Aunt Pat and Uncle Steve have 10 acres that are all beautifully manacured and 2 ponds with fish. As you can see from above Clayton played golf for a while because of the green he was able to hit to.

This is the fish pond that anyone can catch a good 23 inch 3 lb trout from.

This "little" casita is what we had to stay in for the 2 nights. Yeah life is rough.

Here are some other random pictures of our trip.




Senior Citizens and still moving!!!

Great post! I'm glad to have witnessed mule days. Too bad you guys missed being in the parade, that would have really topped off your experience! You took some really pretty pics of the place - nice job.
