Pioneer Day started out with breakfast at the stake center. The children participated in some races and they each got a toy prize for playing. I thought that was extra cool that all the kids there got a toy so everyone felt like a winner. We also went to Vernon Wirthin Park and saw some of our cousins and friends. They had some crafts and games and some little handcarts that they could pull around. Joseph took Seth and Braden for a ride and I saw Izabelle pulling Easton.
The afternoon was mostly Saturday work. Everyone helped with a
Family job. Some preparations for the new carpet and I cleaned both of the couches in the front room and they look like new again. We had a dinner invitation at Kristin’s house which we gladly
excepted. The kids finally got a chance to play in the water while we were there. Brad and I had a nice time talking with family.
I am so grateful for my ancestors and the amazing people they are. It is so inspiring to learn about them and get a glimpse of what they were like and know that we share the same hope in Christ and can all meet again someday. I am also thankful for the many modern day examples I have like my Mom and Dad serving a mission together in Illinois. thank you!
