The second day we were back in the States was the Spooner Rodeo Parade. Lea Ann, Steven and Nina joined us as we headed over with Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs’. We arrived just before things got crowded and had some great front row seats for a really wonderful parade. The best part for me was seeing Kai so flabergasted that they were throwing candy. Even near the end of the parade he would turn to me and say “Dad! They are throwing CANDY!”
