Pioneer Day 2009!

Our Pioneer Day celebration this year was awesome! We went to Fort Buenaventura where they had a Pioneer skills and crafts fair. Our friends the Johnsons came with us and we had a blast! It was only $2.00 to get in and they had a bunch of fun things to do.

We started out riding the train. Carter loved riding in the little train. It is funny because whenever he does something a "big boy" would do he gets this look on his face "like he is so proud," and he looks so serious. It makes me and Mark laugh every time!

We also rode in the canoes. Carter would have liked it better if he didn't have to wear the life preserver. Sorry bud, safety first! We raced canoes against the Johnson's and TOTALLY kicked their butt! (ha ha) After the canoes we went and got some homemade rootbeer and checked out the different Pioneer skills booths. They were shearing a sheep, carving wood, making candles, displaying guns, making flower wreaths, and all kinds of fun things.

After going to the Fort we went to Roosters and had lunch. It was yummy, as usual. The best part was that Carter was pretty good during lunch so we were able to enjoy ourselves.

Here are some (a lot) of pics from our day:


Carter in his get-up before we left









Such a big boy...
His serious and proud face.



Chance had fun riding the train too.

Who is having more fun.. Lyndee or her mom?






A cute family picture.



A cute family picture of the Johnsons.




The Johnsons wishing they could have beat us in the canoe race...


Lyndee was really upset about losing the canoe race...


The motor on our canoe. I think it was like a 10 cylinder or something...


Carter "enjoying" the ride.

Is Mark imitating a mountain man?

The best looking horse on 25th st.



Carter was petting the dog that was part of this statue. So cute!!

Forget baby food... just feed your kid ketchup! Lyndee was loving the ketchup on her fries!
What a cute cowboy... Giddy up!

Too cute! Hopefully one day I'll make it back to Utah and I can meet the little guy, though by then he'll probably be a big guy. : )

This looks like so much fun! What a fun way to spend the holidays rather then sitting on your behind and watch a parade. I'm all about getting to do stuff. Maybe we will do this next year.
