We are learning that Pioneer Day (July 24th) is a big deal for the Latter-day Saint community in this area. After having so much fun at our church activity we decided to visit the nearby city of St. Anthony for their Pioneer Day festivities. To start things off we went to our first rodeo.
It was so much fun and very exciting. Seriously heart pounding. We will definitely go to one again. Lily liked the Calf Shuffle. They glued money to three cows and let all the children under age 11 chase down the cows and try to snatch the money. It was really cute and funny. We didn't let Lily try it this year. Maybe by next year she'll be big enough.
The girls were cold so we had to snuggle them. Once it got near sundown we took them home. We missed some of the most exciting events but we will come back again. The next morning we went to the parade.
The parade had a patriotic theme. Some of the floats were really well made.
Mommy loved this HUGE shopping cart sponsored by the local grocery store. Wouldn't one of these be awesome to have for a Costco shopping trip. I could fill this no problem.
I thought the camel was funny so I just had to include it.
Lily's favorite part of the parade was the candy. She talked about going back to the parade for days and finished the candy (with Mommy and Daddy's help) in about a week. Jeremy's boss lives in St. Anthony so he and his family saved us great seats for the parade. We loved spending the morning with them.
