Pioneer Day

For Pioneer Day we went to the celebration our city puts on at local park.

Driving the firetruck.

The petting zoo. I couldn't believe this chicken would just sit here and let the children pet it.

 Pony Rides.

Wagon Ride

Making Pioneer bonnets

Faces painted like Indian Warriors.

 Making paper bag kites.

 Obstacle course.

 Dancing with the big bear.

Finding a needle in a haystack.

 Roping some cattle.

Duck hunting.

Slingshot Saloon.

Making Indian Headdresses.

 

Brooke started getting a little droopy and warm and hung out on Daddy's lap for some of the fun.

 

Panning for Gold.

 Making butter.

 I had been looking forward to visiting the pioneer village and seeing my friend and her family that reenact the pioneers. Unfortunately we had to get our sick little Brooke home.

 After some medicine and a nap Brooke was feeling a little better. We had saved a few little fireworks to do that night.

 Sparklers are always fun.

 They love the poppers.

The best part of the fireworks is my girls dancing around pretending to be a firework!

 We had a nice day, we just wish Brooke had been feeling better. We are very grateful for the sacrifices of our Pioneer ancestors.
