Pioneer Days fun

Pioneer Days has always been a fun event to attend.  This year I decided to get the boys involved.  Okay so maybe the Kiddie parade would have gone better had I started the project more than the day before.  My best friend Sheila and I had talked about doing the Kiddie parade with our kids last year but of course time got away and here we were a week before the parade and just discussing it.  I'm pretty sure we didn't even know what we were going to do until a few days before.

Thanks to my awesome niece and babysitter Kim I was able to leave the boys at my parents with her while I got the necessities to make the "boat".  I decided to do a summer/fishing theme and made the boys wagon into a fishing boat.  My friend Sheila also pulled her daughter in a wagon wearing an adorable bumblebee swimsuit.  It was fun but unfortunately we weren't creative enough and didn't place.  I have no clue what to do next year because I'm pretty sure at 4 and almost 5 years they aren't going to want to ride in the wagon!

It was a hot walk during the Kiddie parade but the kids had fun.  Afterwards we had hotdogs and then  they picked up their tyed dyed shirt and balloon.  It was a little overwhelming for Isaac so we didn't stay real long.

Saturday morning I had the pleasure of running/walking a 5k race with my niece Kim and her Mom Kathy.  It was quite humid and buggy out so my run wasn't the best and I came in at about 37:00.  I had fun though.

Later in the morning we all went to the big parade and the boys really enjoyed it and the candy of course.  They were able to get a free rootbeer float afterwards.

All in all it was a fun weekend and the boys enjoyed it.
