Pioneer Celebration

We went to our Ward's playgroup last week at the church and made fruit loop neclaces and played ball in the gym.


Some of the ladies who came to playgroup.


McKay and his friend Tyler showing off their neclaces.


Here we are at the pioneer celebration our Stake had last Saturday. We went to a pancake breakfast and then they had a primary children's parade. This was the closest pioneer outfit we could come up with at short notice.


Here is McKay riding his bike in the parade. We were the last ones in line.

The group of children in the parade, we are at the end.


You can see my tummy starting to stick our a bit.


After the parade, we went into the church and they had prepardness safety booths were each ward participated. We learned about food storage, 72-hour kits, water filters, and first aid kits. Our ward did a child safety booth where the police came and took pictures of each child and had them fingerprinted in case they become stollen. It was really neat.

That night, the Stake put on a musical fireside about the pioneers. I sang in the choir and played my flute as a solo of "Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" and a duet with a cello "Come follow Me." At least I am keeping my flute playing up.
