24th of July

 The primary kids did a trek on pioneer day and walked almost 2 miles with 3 handcarts.

 They were rewarded with homemade scones at the pavilion by the church.

 There was a pie auction after the program and Bree and I enjoyed seeing all the pies and wishing for different ones. When we got home I decided to make a fresh strawberry pie. I made the crust, pie and whipped the cream. It tasted really good too!

Pioneer Day

 Just in case you were wondering how we all looked with big nose, glasses and a mustache, this is it!
We joined Kevin's parents, brother and his family, and sister for the 24th celebration.

 We went to their parade and breakfast and the Relief Society presidency tossed these glasses to us instead of candy. They claimed to be "sticking their nose in people's business". I thought it was pretty cute and we do look cute in the glasses too! We gathered plenty of candy from those on tractors, trailers and old cars. We also learned about the town's history and the people who built the first homes there. Kevin's dad even sang in a trio. It was a good celebration.
