Pioneer adventures

My parents' ward here in Wyoming had a primary activity to celebrate the 24th of July, the date that commemorates the pioneers entering the Salt Lake Valley. The kids enjoyed some fun activities. Like the handcart pull.


KaileeJo really enjoyed pushing the cart and Taydom didn't seem to mind riding.








They also got to make home made ice cream.




It was Delicious!

We also got to make fry bread. KaileeJo thought that her bread couldn't have enough flour on it.



Or powder sugar. She dumped the whole sifter full on top.

They also were going to have a watermelon seed spitting contest but couldn't find a watermelon with seeds in it. Over all it was a good day even though Taydom took a good spill and bit her tongue almost all the way through and KaileeJo fell in the parking lot and scraped her knee pretty good. We still came home with smiles on our faces and fun things to talk about.

Looks like you're having a great time! Adam was looking a little lonely at church today. He said you guys are gone 'til Thursday. Poor guy! Jessica Buckley said the kids were singing so great last week and really seem like they know the songs. Thanks again for covering for me. Have a fun week and safe trip home!
