happy days are here again...

this past weekend i went home to be with my mom for mother's day! luckily zillah's community days also happened to fall on this weekend, so i got to join in the festivities. it's always a little bit surreal to once again be a part of small town life, where everybody knows everybody and you run into people you went to high school with. here are some pics from the events...

every year the lions club cooks breakfast for the city. this is the line we stood in...we got there at 9:15 and they had been serving since early that morning. i have no idea how many people they served, but i guarantee it was a lot.

pancakes, eggs, and ham, delicious!



it's tradition for the parade to begin with police cars from zillah and the neighboring cities. i really like the new cars, well done zillah!


zillah's royalty! the theme for this float was never figured out, but assumed to be some kind of fairy tale story. i can't help but wonder if the girls got to pick out their bright pink dresses.


this might have been the cutest part of the whole parade.


when the shriners came through this guy stopped to pose for us!


pink cadillac, plush velvet seats, riding in the back, cruisin' down the streets!

what's a parade without horse drawn carriages. sidenote...beef stake's are on sale at the Zillah Food Center this week just in case anyone is interested.
