A Taste of the Pioneer Life

While Braxton was being a mountain man, the kids and I decided we should have a great weekend too.  We did several fun things including a visit to Pioneer park.  Along with Grandma, aunties and baby cousins we had a good time looking around a participating in pioneer activities.                       Bryson and Ellie getting the laundry done


                                      Beat the dust outa them rugs!
                         (This could double as anger management)

                Bryson and Ellie were good children at school....

                                                   Lauren was not

                                   Finally found our new home!



We had a great time.  I love outings that not only entertain, but teach and make you appreciate too.  When we got home that night, I was so grateful to use my flushy (indoor) toilet, throw a load of laundry into the  washing machine, and crawl into a soft, comfortable bed.  I am so grateful for the pioneers and what they went through, especially while forging their way here, and I am very grateful that I live now....with running water and air conditioning!
