Each year on the last weekend of July I get a little homesick. My Mom and Dad's hometown, Naples, Texas (pop. 1908) has an annual bash better known as the Watermelon Festival. This yearly festival celebrates the harvest of the local watermelon crops in the area. The festival is complete with a small town rodeo, classic car show, a parade with local floats, horse riders, kids in gocarts and ATV's, etc, and all the FREE ICE COLD WATERMELON YOU CAN EAT! It's a great time to be had. Usually on this weekend, Mom and Dad's families get together also for a good time.
This year, Dad was able to attend his 40th High School reunion during the festival. He graduated with 31 other students and 18 showed up for the reunion 40 years later. Here are a few pics including my nephew Andy getting ready to devour some ice cold watermelon and Dad's high school reunion.
