Pioneer Day

While Dilan was recovering from her surgery and Dakota was asleep, I took the kids to the annual Pioneer Day celebration. Colleen, David's mom, came to visit us for the weekend and so she came with us too. 

It was a fun event with a lot of work by the stake to make it special. Our ward was in charge of displaying pioneer stories from our families so I contributed mine from a "modern day pioneer." 

Here is a picture of me with my boys in front of my poster.

 They had awesome cotton candy which Drake was happy about. He thought he was supposed to eat it like ice cream and licked it over and over. :)

 Stick pulling! Drew and Drake had fun with this.

 Walking on stilts

 Mimi teaching Drew how to play marbles which was his favorite game of the entire day. Drake even got in on the action too.

 Then we dressed up like pioneers

 Drake went fishing...

 and so did Drew. 

 Bean bag toss was a lot of fun. I kept having Drew move farther back because it was too easy for him. 

 Drake celebrated as he made his bean bags go in! If he started missing the shots, he leaned on the board with his stomach so he could make it in more easily. :)

Then, later in the evening we all went to have snow cones!
