Pioneer Day

(getting ready for the parade- do you like her piggies?

Daddy said she looked like she had antennas)

Yesterday we went to a really fun Pioneer Day Celebration. A few of the stakes got together, and did this HUGE shindig- I think I heard they have been doing it for about 10 years. We went down to our Stake Center and sat with the wonderful Evans family for the parade. They say if we ever get tired of our kids to send them over. Ava chilled with Crystal the entire time (I am in YW with her, so they are friends...) It was soooo humid! The people on the floats had squirt guns to keep the crowd cool, and Ava & Crystal got soaked!

They also threw out so much candy and we got a ton! Nathan was so funny if he picked up a piece of candy he didn't like he would just throw it back down for some other kid to get. The Evans girls gave him all their candy too, so he had plenty. He and this one little girl ran for this piece of candy, and he got there first, but felt bad so he handed it to the girl- such a ladies man.

They served breakfast, had games, snow cones, and tons of stuff. Then the fire department came and hosed everyone down. It was great to watch! The water was shooting like 100 yards! We were standing out of the way so it was just misting us. I don't remember going to anything like this in Utah, so it was awesome.
