Memorial Day Weekend - Priest Lake, ID

We went up to Priest for the annual Memorial Day weekend festivities. This year we decided to be in the parade as "The Priest Lake Huckleberries". This was our first entry since the 1980's. My cousins & I have such fond memories of being in the parade when we were kids. Since the extended McCray family seems to be in a "baby boom" we decided this would be a great year to get back into it for our children. The weather was sunny & warm, we went through all our candy way too fast & even got into a water balloon fight with some spectators....it was a blast.

The water is still pretty cool, but the kids still played in it all weekend long. Nana, Papa, Aunty Lala, & Ron were also able to come up for the long weekend. There was also a "fun run" which really wasn't very fun, but I felt great once it was over, and a wonderful craft fair with local vendors.

One other tradition is our great friend Juanitia's party after the parade. She has a beautiful place & fabulous food. It was a great party & always fun to reconnect with friends after the winter. I am particularly fond of this weekend as it means my FAVORITE season is just around the corner! Happy summer!

Nice work making it to the "fun run" in the middle of some relaxing, too!
