Pioneer Party

We have a great ward. Dan and I really like the people we go to church with. I work with the younger, primary kids and really enjoy being so close to my boys and watching them learn and grow. All of the kids are amazing and smart!

This past Saturday our church group celebrated a holiday that is both a religious and state holiday (if you live in Utah!) It was Pioneer Day on the twenty-fourth of July, so we all got together to eat and play some good ol' pioneer games. We also had a little parade with the kids and their handmade covered wagons. (Ours fell apart within maybe five minutes! There's no way that thing would have made it across the plains to the west.) It was a lot of fun, and since I was busy helping with games, Dan got to be the photographer. He took a lot of pics and made this fun little video of them all. It's a bit long, and has a lot of our kids in it, but if any of you were at the party, I think you'll like it. :)

Oh, and just a note, Logan's hair was a one day thing! Dan was shaving it and left the mohawk for me to see, and Logan begged to keep it, so I gave him one day. He's so funny! Thanks to everyone who helped make this day so much fun!

How Fun! When I see those pictures of Logan with that little girl, I am forcfully reminded of Sweet Home Alabama...and what a coincedence, you live in Alabama. They are so cute. I hope they stay friends and dont let growing up ruin it for them!

I watched the entire thing just so I could see that mohawk. And that mohawk didn't disappoint! It is spectacular! It actually looks really good on him. Does that bug you that I think so? :)
The day does look like so much fun and you can tell everyone really enjoyed it. I love the wagons! Sorry yours didn't make the trek. :)

You guys look like you were having a fabulous time. After watching the video Jacob kept asking when he gets to go to Alabama and have fun with Logan. Hopefully one day!!
