pioneer days

 This last week was so much fun around here.  The 24th of July isn't a state holiday here of course, but our town goes all out to honor our pioneer ancestors.  We were out late almost every night, but it was totally worth it.  On Wednesday night there was a talent show.  Heidi was wondering when it was her turn to sing in the microphone and started belting out "I am a child of God" half way through.  It was adorable and everyone around us thought so too.

 Thursday night was a junior rodeo.  Heidi loved it, Savanna tolerated half of it.  Jeff's parents came into town Friday afternoon.  We were so glad they came up to enjoy and help us with all the events.  We went on a little picnic Friday afternoon and then Jeff and his dad started getting things ready for the triathlon.  Jeff was in charge of heading up the triathlon.  Saturday morning was the triathlon.  Jeff did an awesome job putting it on!  Since Jeff's parents were there to help with the girls I got to participate in the triathlon.  I did it on a team.  My friend did the bike, her dad did the swim, and I did the run.  There was a fun run for the kids afterwards.

After the triathlon there was a parade and Heidi made out with loads of candy.  After the parade we headed to the town bbq.  That night we went to the ranch rodeo.  It was such a fun day and we were so glad Jeff's parents came to enjoy all the festivities.  We are already excited and counting down to next year!
