Today our Branch held a super fun Pioneer Day activity at the gazebos near the water. Some of the adults and kids were dressed up in pioneer clothes. The kids enjoyed the fun games that they had set up. For every game each of the kids got to earn pennies and nickles. They had fishing, Cowboys and Indians(duck-duck-goose), war tug with a stick, and tug of war. After most of the big kids were done fishing in the blow up pool all of the little kids got in to keep cool. It started with just walking and splashing lightly and then before I knew it Abby was sitting in the pool with all of her clothes on. I couldn't blame her because it was so blasted hot. We were all hot sticky messes before lunch even started.
For lunch we ate Navajo Tacos and lots and lots of watermelon. When lunch was over all the kids lined up at the sweet shop to buy candy with the pennies and nickles they earned from the games. Everything was set up so cute and the kids were beside themselves with all of the candy that they were able to get with their pennies and nickles. While the kids were busy having fun Mike and I were able to meet some really great people. I can tell this is going to be a great branch family!
