Happy Pioneer Day!

We had a nice Pioneer Day and took the kids to This is the Place.  They had a great time even though I'm always ready to leave about 10 minutes into visiting hot, sweaty, dirty places.

An artsy photo of Brynn.  No idea who took this.

Henry getting a pep talk before the pie eating contest. Darren takes contests of all sort very seriously.

Darren is so proud of that pie eating contest medal.

Somebody really loves horses.  I guess that maybe happens when you are the great-granddaughter of a cowboy.  She wouldn't let me touch the saddlehorn either.  She'd raise one chubby little finger at me and say, "no touch."

The kids at the petting zoo.

A group of cute, grimy kids panning for gold.  I couldn't drag them away from that  extra fun, dirty, wet activity.  


I guess we all know who was never meant to be a pioneer.
