Pioneer Days

To kick off the Pioneer Days celebration we headed to the rodeo (minus Wendell of course who is way too allergic).
There is nothing like the smell of horses and dirt and bulls to make kids happy.
Emily can't wait to go again next year.
The holiday meant days off work so we took advantage of that and went to Willard Bay camping. The kids loved being right by the lake and swimming in the mud.

While we were there, a camp ranger put on a program about bugs. Not so thrilling but at least it passed off some scouting requirements for the boys.
More water, games, s'mores, hot dogs, mud, rocks, and fun. From here we went to the annual parade.
Then the kids tried their skill at rock climbing---again. I'm thrilled they've found a new hobby, but not so thrilled they need adults to belay them.
I guess they figured climbing rocks is similar to the stress the pioneers faced. At least it kept the kids busy until a bar-b-que and fireworks that night. Happy 24th.
