Country Fun!

We have a family tradition that's been going on since I was a kid.  Every year, a small community near the area I grew up in has a chicken BBQ.  I remember going to it as a kid.  My Dad has continued this, inviting any family members who are available and getting supper for all of us.
The chicken is always good, but I love going and seeing people I know and having a good time with family.  This event always makes me think of small town America.  I've got a bunch of pictures to share and you can let me know if you agree!

They have a community band that's always playing while we wait in line.  They play lots of old songs and many patriotic ones too.

 

Here's a whole bunch of the family.  My brother, 2 sisters and most of their families were all able to come.  The only ones missing were Laura and Aaron at another reunion, Andy in Tennessee and my niece Katelyn who had to work.

 

After we got done eating, we visited the animals in the petting zoo.

This was a talented pot bellied pig.  He did all sorts of tricks.

 

This goat was only 2 weeks old

 

How do you like the curls on this sheep?

 

"What you looking at?"

 

After the animals, was a car show...

 

I thought this was a pretty nice truck!

 

And in the country - you look at tractors too!
