We had a family reunion the 1st of August in Malad, Idaho at Jed's grandparent's house. None of Jed's brothers or sisters came and we didn't stay very long either. We found out Jed's dad, Tom, had left a half hour before we arrived because he was driving his team of horses in the Preston Parade that day. So, we took off for Preston, Idaho to see if we could find him. To his dad's great surprise, we found him and his wife, Mo, pulling into the rodeo grounds with their horses. They let us ride with them in the wagon during the parade. The kids got to sit by their Grandpa while he drove the horses and had a great time! Aubrey especially enjoyed herself because there were horses everywhere.
We found out that the wagon Tom's horses were pulling was an original 1894 "school bus" for the children during that time period. Our kids couldn't believe it - it was a new idea to them that kids used to go to school by a horse-drawn wagon. Pretty cool.

That is so fun! Love the cheerleaders on horses.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome that they got to ride in the parade with their grandpa and on an old old old school bus. That is cool. I didn't even know that they did that - used a wagon to go and pick up kids for school.
