Pioneer Day at Texas Old Town

This year we celebrated Pioneer Day the way we had for years before we lived in Utah - at Texas Old Town. Our stake puts it on every year and everyone comes for the great food, games, live music, dancing, and fireworks!


After eating we started off with some face-painting...



Natalie "the cat" (no surprise there!) with her friend Sophie and primary teacher Sister A. who painted her face. Natalie was delighted!

Meanwhile, the boys got a treat of their own...


Cotton candy!

Can you tell who enjoyed it the most?!




Natalie and I stayed cool with sno-cones


I'm not even sure what this game is called but Nathan loved it!




Natalie discovered a new passion - the hula hoop!





Tyler wasn't quite sure how to get those hips moving



Here we all are:


These pics just make me smile - so true to everyone's personality!



Nathan had to show his "batman face" and wouldn't look at the camera!



And we had to capture this moment - Grandma Carla doing the hula!



Dan with new nephew Cody - chillin' out waiting for the fireworks to start


It was such a fun evening with all our family - unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the rest of the family that were there so Carla and Michelle I'm relying on you! The kids had so much fun, and so did the adults! From hayrides to watermelon, to glow-sticks and popcorn the night was a huge hit and we are so glad we stayed til the last firework exploded!
