For Pioneer Day we went to the institute building for some pioneer games. Here Daniel and Dad are doing the three legged race.
Eliza congratulated them as they crossed the finished line.
Bradley at the buffalo chip toss. These are some authentic looking buffalo chips!
Eliza was very excited about the toss!
Eliza would have been a great pioneer. She loved collecting the buffalo chips!
Bradley was very good at the buffalo chip toss. He got everyone in.
Daniel couldn't get the hang of how to throw the chips. Maybe next year.
They also had face painting. Bradley picked a green butterfly.
Daniel got a Spider Man face.
Their favorite was the stick pull.
They also had watermelon seed spitting, corn husk dolls and buffalo hide stories.
Later in the day we had some friends over for hamburgers and got the slip n' slide out.
Eliza and Edward are exactly one year apart in age.

We did a few fountains, some pop its and sparklers after dinner.
Daniel throwing pop its at a firework.
Then the boys had a little parade.
Daniel loves sparklers!
Edward wasn't as interested in them.
Eliza was very interested. We had to keep a close eye on her since she kept trying to touch the end.
Happy Pioneer Day!
