My Little Ambassador and 4 H Club Member......

this weekend was a busy time for us, but it was so much fun. it was the 30th annual
miles cotton festival. boy did we have fun. i got to spend time with my family and a lot of old friends. i love being from a small rural town. i have friends that i have know for over 30 years. i love the fact that my girls are going to school at a small rural school. so many of our small towns have dried up, but miles is still going strong.
we started off the day with a parade. both of my girls were in the parade. bekah was a little ambassador, and hannah was on the 4-H float. then we walked around the park where there were about 30ish booths there. then we spent most of the day at the camp

of my old youth pastors camp. boy can this man cook. we just sat and visited all day.
the girls played with all of their school friends. they had a part of the park roped off for the jumbo bouncy castles, and wall climbing. the girls had a blast. we ate ribs , brisket, little deabloes, and german potatoes. oh my goodness, it was fabulous. charles, (my old youth pastor) enters his brisket every year, but he never wins. i don't know how he doesn't because it is fabulous.
later that night there was a cotton queens contest, where bekah escorted her contestant. here are some pictures.
