Pioneer Day

For this years Pioneer Festival the kids were asked if they wanted to sing 2 songs as part of the program. Simeon & Corrine sang with a group of about a dozen kids-"Pioneer Children Sang as they Walked" and "When Pioneers Went to the West".


After they sang we enjoyed a hamburger and hotdogs for lunch. This year they had snow cones and cotton candy which were a HUGE hit, and not just with our kids-but with most the kids (and adults) there.

The kids made kites, bonnets, leather necklaces & bracelets. They raced in a gunnie sack race, did stick pulling, walked on stilts and made the bears climb the ropes.




The festival was suppose to be held outside, but because of rain it was held inside the church. Because of the festival being inside Johann was outside cooking food in dutch ovens and was able to join us for the last little bit of the festival.

Love how big those cotton candy sticks are! I don't remember the pioneers having cotton candy!
