Pioneer Party

Our family was given the assignment to provide a "float" for the ward 24th Party. The missionaries rode on the Unimog and the kids and I played the part of a pioneer family. Hudson's only request was to ride Duke. The kids loved throwing candy and the girls made pretty cute pioneers in the bonnets I sewed up.



We introduced the ward to my Dad's creations: the slippery slide and merry-go-round swing. They were a huge hit. We had nonstop lines the entire evening. Brent operated the swing and I don't know how many people commented on him being a carny.



Forget the rides and the water, the girls just enjoyed the watermelon.
