Our float also had a mascot appropriate to the Festival this year!
Ben found this corn costume last year but only Avery and Alli tried it on for part of the parade and weren't really visible on the float. But now meet Christina, daughter of Travis' assistant Cynthia.
It takes a special someone to willingly put on a corn costume and prance around...
Thanks to Christina's pizazz we also had two pictures in the Statesman Journal (Salem's newpaper) gallery of the Corn Festival. Check them out here.
Carson and Emmett really enjoyed the frisbees we were tossing out
They're fun to look through too.
Emmett particularly enjoyed the candy. I do not even know how much that kid stole and ate without help...
Carson enjoyed the candy too
Avery enjoyed the candy too, but to throw it along with the floss!
Dr. Ben helped throw the candy too. Unfortunately for me, shortly after I took this picture I took a shot to the end of my eyebrow from Ben hurling the candy hard across the float to the people on the other side. Thanks for the goose egg...
Um, not sure what Carson was doing with these two tiny pieces of hay, but he was working at them for a while...
When we finished the parade I found Emmett with one of these that he had discarded earlier... and sticky fingers... and hay stuck to him... and apparently me saying, "No, dirty, yucky" has no meaning when I'm also taking a picture of him...
The pictures don't show it well, but his lips were very yellow and gooey.
And for whatever reason that made him stick his lips out until I got him wiped up. Such cute lips.
Then Avery wanted to try on the corn costume.
Like I said, it takes someone special to want to wear this...
Another fun parade! Next up, the Sublimity Harvest Fest!
I met Travis in Institute at Oregon State University in 2001 and we were married Aug 2002. We have 3 boys, Avery, Carson and Emmett. I love photography and run a business, 
Travis is a dentist at 
Avery was born in Dec 2004 and is now 7 and almost a 2st grader. He loves being a big brother to Carson and Emmett.
Carson was born in March of 2007 and is now 5 years old.
Emmett was born in September of 2008 and is now almost 4 years old.
