Celebration

The Pioneer Day Celebration in Snowflake this year was very strange. For starts there was a McLaws reuion this past weekend so we knew we were going to have to try to juggle between the two. We were going to have 7 extra kids on Friday so I decided we wouldn't even attempt to go to the Flake stuff - rodeo and lunch. Well those families had different plans that I found out about Thursdays so I decided to take the kids and go over there for a few of the festivities. We didn't get there until the rodeo was almost over so we pretty much said hi and left. We went to the lunch and it was nice. After that we went to Rex's house to visit for a while. That night we went to the McLaws reuion. Saturday we headed back to Snowflake for the parade. We didn't want to attempt to be there at 8:00 sharp for the races so we just missed those this year. The parade was good - as usual. I was hoping to see some old friends from high school but didn't manage to run into any this year. That is usually one of the best parts about going.
Here are the kids waiting for the parade to start:


It was fun while we were there but missed my mom and dad and their house being there. Usually that is the meeting ground for everybody and they have their house rented out while they are on their mission so we resorted to brother's houses.
