Pioneer Day Parade 2009

This past weekend the Grant Family celebrated 127 years of Paso Robles, California living. My aunts did an amazing job decorating our float and sewing all of our costumes. They did so much research into the history of the Grant Family and all of my grandpa's relatives that he doesn't get to see that often showed up at the Paso Robles park for a family reunion after the parade. The Independent Scotch Company was the name of the wagon train that the Grants came west with.

Getting ready for the parade.

Loren with Kirsten and new baby Juliet, he was the photographer for the rest of the day so this is pretty much the only picture of him!!

The parade featured a lot of old machinery, amazing that it still runs!
