Every year during the week of the 24th me and my parents come to Oakley Idaho.
My Grandma lives here and has all of my life.
If you are wondering why the week of the 24th is always are visiting date I will explain.
The 24th is a day that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints celebrate the travel of the pioneers and the founding of our church. We celebrate it with a parade, rodeo, fireworks and of course with family and food.
Oakley is a town of 2,500, however you would not know that when driving into town. The town consists of farmers and ranchers and so families are spread far and wide. Only about 750 live in town. The only form of entertainment is the swimming pool and the store. But most people around here do not have much time to entertain since most are working on the farm and ranch. However during the 24th the town is full of visitors. Friends and family gather to create some memories.
Oakley has always been a home to me. Me and my parents have moved to a lot of different states in my 17 years but Oakley has always stayed the same. So no matter what my address was my grandma's stayed the same and when we visited it was the one place I knew would not be different.
The 24th of course is not the only time we visit but it has become a tradition for my parents and I. I believe that my favorite thing about the 24th is the early dinner we have after the parade and then the games we play while we wait for the fireworks.
When I return home I plan on posting pictures so you can see my country home.
