Primary Pioneer Parade

Our ward Primary had a children's parade in celebratin of Pioneer Day this morning. The kids (and the Dog) got dressed up as Pioneers. Here are the pictures.

Annie dressed up as a cow... Notice the makeshift udders... Apologies to Doug Horton, look what our beautiful Shorthair has been reduced to!


Eliza as a German Pioneer... I am not sure Germans were allowed to join the Church back in the old days.


Here is one of our kids and the neighbor kids ready to go... Dan and Mike are in T-Shirts, but the hats get across the idea...

Ellie in the back of the wagon bossing everyone around (as Germans are known to do)...
Here are the boys posing in front of the covered wagon... a lot of work went into this...

Annie is the star of the show--she makes the perfect cow! Love the cracks about Germans. Hope they don't offend any of your relatives.
Also, once again, this was NOT blogged by Kristen. Please be accurate in your blogging. :-)

I am dying, those pictures are so good. I love how Ellie is a GERMAN pioneer. Thanks for specifying. What a fun idea to have a neighborhood parade.

Never finished my comments....We want you to know that your German relatives are not offended, they do have a good sense of humor...Of course, Annie steels the show, she makes a great cow.... The kids look great and you can see they enjoy playing the part. Love you all - OMI and OPA

WOW. Many thanks to mom and Aunt Kathleen for providing the recipe. Can't wait to try it!
We don't mean to offend anyone, but is Jim still "bitter" about Chris' car having more religious significance than his own car? Just wondering, because he hasn't commented in a while. This blog is great--the only thing it's missing is more of Jim's humorous comments! :-)
