Pioneer day fun

Well for pioneer day (July 24th) we decided to head down to New Harmony, and spend time with Papa, and Grandma.
Grandma hand-made costumes for Isabel, and I. Also Max had a cool costume.












Grandma was in charge of making a float for her parade. It turned out quite nice, and she even let us ride on it in the parade.
Here's me and Joe peakin' out the back.
After the parade was over, there was a huge B.B.Q., and lot's of games for the kids. There was also a pioneer costume contest. Isabel won 2nd in the children's bracket, and I won 2nd in the adult bracket. Thanks Mom for the cute costumes, and all the hard work.
Here's some of the games the kids played.

Here's Papa and Joe just chillin'
And here's Joe with Grams. He ate like 3 of these.
So I forgot to mention that the Waites (minus Taylor) came up to join us for pioneer day in N.H. We miss those guys, and haven't seen them since we moved. It was a fun visit, we did lot's of fun things. They were with us for the N.H. parade, and also the next day we were in another parade for the next town over. Good times! After the Saturday parade, we went swimming, quadding, and exploring.
Don't forget your goggles Maddie...
After a long day of events, we all settled down for some Smores. I love roasting marshmallows, and then sticking a piece of chocolate inside to melt. MMmmmmmmm. This was right outside my parents house in their "new" fire pit.
We had so much fun in N.H. with Dad and Mom. It was also really nice to see Heather and family. The trip was of course too short, but we'll be back this comming weekend. No Heather though. :(
Ode to Pioneers for another Holiday!
