We celebrated Pioneer Day small-town style. Washington City had a parade this morning that started at 9:00 am and was over by 9:20 am.
A different way for royalty to ride. She had on jeans and a t-shirt.
Many of the entries were from the ward Primary kids. It was really a parade for the kids. The part they liked was the people that threw out candy.
After the parade they had games and booths set up in the park. Here a kid waits to be dunked in the tank.
To round out the festivities, we heard a little country music.
I do believe he was able to blow out all candles.
We enjoyed the little Pioneer Day celebration here. We thought about going up to Salt Lake to the big Days of '47 Parade on Monday, but decided it might be too big of a hassle. But I have to say I am pretty proud of where we came from. As I have read some family histories lately, I feel humbled that we have had many courageous and faithful ancestors. They were pioneers who sacrificed much for the gospel. We owe them a debt of gratitude.

Yes, we do indeed owe them probably more than we can ever re-pay. I doubt I would of made if very far on the journey!
Your shoes look cute, how did you ever keep it to one pair though??
The parade looks fun; we celebrated by supporting Kurt at the Bishopric pancake breakfast this morning!
Luke is sure a handsome 14 y/o... he looks like his grandpa ;)
Looks like good, old-fashioned fun. Were there Primary children in the parade, or did the poor Primary presidency just have to march alone holding that sign? I thought Luke was looking quite handsome also.
