About two weeks ago we went to the Tillamook parade with my co-workers. For those who have not been to Oregon, Tillamook is the armpit. It is a dairy town where the Tillamook cheese factory is located. Needless to say it always has an odor of cow shit. I don't know how anyone lives there. The dental company I work for has an office along the parade route, so we all decided to go and make an event of it. My boss went all out with the food and had cheese sandwiches, popcorn, cow-tails (candy), and a specially designed cow cake made. The kids were so excited. Apparently the parade is the second largest in the state. They were thrown a lot of candy and were on a serious sugar high. It was pretty warm so we decided to go to a shady park for a picnic after the parade. Jed found a pretty tree and we took all of the kids pictures in it. I think we may make a tradition of this fun crazy parade and just pray that next year the wind blesses us again and blows the smell away.
