Pionner Days 2015 - Part 3

Our third day of Pioneer celebrations started out early with the kids and I running the Manassa 5K.

Everyone tried their best and had a great time.

Emmy took third in her age group.

Ben took second in his age group.

I took fourth in my age group.  Hyrum finished strong and ran the race the best he could.
After the 5K was finished, we found a spot on main street to watch the parade again.

Next, we spent the whole day at the carnival having a marvelous time. We found a nice shady spot on the lawn to enjoy our day.  We brought a cooler full of things for lunch and treats through out the day.  However, we did enjoy a delicious famous Pioneer Day burger.

We rode many rides together laughing and having fun. Of course many of the pictures are of Lucy since I stayed with her most of the day and had the camera. The big kids were happy to go and have fun with Brandon and their friends.

We went home after the firework show ended, completely exhausted, but so happy and content with the day that we spent together as a family.

Friday brought another fun day during the Pioneer Celebration. My girls once again participated in a little summer dance class. As a result, the girls were able to be in the parade in Manassa.

I absolutely loved seeing Lucy in the truck during the parade. She waved her little heart out to me. It made me so happy.

Emmy felt pretty special holding the sign for the dance company.

There were also some pretty cool floats in this parade too.

Ben even found a friend to hang out with.

After the parade,  we headed over to the park to watch the girls perform the dance number they had been working on all summer long.

The girls each did a great job! It was so much fun watching them dance!

The middle of July brought the exciting pioneer days to the small towns in our community.

We headed to the town of Sanford to enjoy the parade and other  fun events.

Next, we arrived for the foot races.  Each of the kids ran their little hearts out!

The next activity was the three legged races.  The kids had fun with their friends trying to get the coordination down for to accomplish the race. 

After the three legged races came the watermelon eating contest. Hyrum was pretty excited to be chosen to participate in the contest.

Next, came the egg toss.  Ben and his partner were out pretty quickly. Emmy and her partner lasted a long time! Hyrum and I were going to do it together, but the people in charge ran out of eggs.

Of course, to end the fun day, the fire truck was there to hose everyone down.

Some of our favorite time of the day was spent with our friends!

It was a great afternoon!
