Happy Pioneer Day!

Bright and early Saturday morning, we dressed in our pioneer duds (some in modern day pioneer attire, others from the good ol' days) and went to the Stake Pioneer Day Breakfast.

On display, were 2 posters with pictures from trek. They were fun to look at and get a sense of what it was like. Rylee found herself in one of them.

The stake was well prepared to feed a TON of people. They had several commercial grills set up to cook food, plus many long tables with sides, condiments and drinks. It ran like well-oiled machine and pumped people through quickly.

We had a delicious breakfast of fluffy pancakes, hash browns, cheesy eggs, ham, cantaloupe, watermelon, Tang, milk and more. It was sooo good... well worth getting up early on a Saturday morning.

For entertainment, we listened to folk songs played by talented stake families and individuals. Some even played banjos, fiddles and other cool instruments. The "Trek Choir" sang 2 songs also. As the finale, all the primary-aged children were invited to be a part of the pioneer parade.

Someone had made a cute covered wagon, that had speakers and an mp3 player hooked up to play pioneer songs as they walked and walked and walked and walked AND walked... around the grassy field.

Happy Pioneer Day!
