Happy Pioneery Day!

Happy Pioneer Day everyone!! We woke up bright and early, I finished decorating the kids bikes (they want them decorated but don't have the patience to do it...like I do!!), loaded the bikes into the van, drove to Tuacahn to pick up our Bountiful Basket (if you haven't done it, you are missing out! www.bountifulbaskets.org , then drove down to the center of Ivins for a pancake breakfast sponsored by the Fire Department. It was actually a pretty good breakfast.

Then the kids and Bryan got ready to ride in the parade. Our ward's entry was the "Stroller Brigade" and the dads were supposed to push their kids in strollers while the older kids rode bikes. They all were supposed to wear red shirts and blue shorts. It worked out pretty well but there weren't a whole lot of kids who showed up. But they had fun. I sat in the shade and watched just in case a child (Courtney) bailed before the end of the parade. But they all rode great. The weather actually cooperated and it was overcast and not too hot.

Biking to line up:

When the parade was over, we drove home to clean the house. We then went swimming and it wasn't crowded at all. Now we are going to run to my parent's house for a BBQ this evening. Fun day!!
