Pioneer Day

We did a lot of Pioneer Day this year.  First we went to see the parade. We were at the beginning of the parade and got tons of candy. We first started putting it in my little purse, then we had to move to filling the stroller.  In addition to candy, we got 3 otter pops and could have gotten Pepsi but turned it down.  The kids really enjoyed the parade.

Then we had a quick lunch at home and then went to the fairgrounds for more Pioneer Day Celebrations.
 One booth turned ties into beanbag snakes which the kids got to keep.
 McKees brought out their animals.  We couldn't stay too long because Robert started chasing them.
 Hannah would have loved the animals but she fell asleep on Nathan's back.  So Nate stayed out of the animal area and enjoyed his ice cream float.


 There was a free little kid area that had a bouncy house, a fishing toy area, and face painting.


 The main reason why we went is because Nathan (as Sunday School President) was put in charge of selling Flavor-Ice.  We took our turn helping at the booth. Hailey tried to help where she could.  Somehow, all the Flavor-Ice we had was sold.
 After we were done taking our turn, we went to IF and had a BBQ with Darlene, Wayne, Dayne, and her sister-in-law Elizabeth and Dave.
 The kids played at the playground for a little bit.
 Dayne and Hannah were in their strollers for dinner which worked out nicely.
It was a very busy but fun day.
