Happy Pioneer Day


July 24th, 2012
I have been reading the American Girl Doll books, Kirsten, to my girls
So I was excited for Pioneer Day this year

For FHE I asked my Mom to tell the story of the spoon about how our Pioneer ancestor carried this spoon across the plains. (please notice the Ken doll sitting next to my Mom)

Jane & Sari and Kate & Kirsten
(I got Kirsten on my 8th Birthday)

The Miners came with us to Pioneer Village
Gavin, Kate, Hailey, Austin & Jane
 Face Painting

 Proof that Truman & Nicklaus were there
 Wagon Ride

 Getting water from the well

 A game of spinning buttons
 The hoop toss

 Happy Baby
 Stilts walking

 The Bear shimmy 
 Pioneer School -just like Kirsten went to Powderkeg school
 They got to write their names on the slate boards just like Kirsten in the book

 Kate with the basket of muffins we made before we came
We had a couple offers to buy our muffins! haha
If I had known better I would have mass produced and made a profit ;)

Happy Pioneer DAy!
