Pioneer Activity

Last night our primary put on a perfectly pleasant pioneer activity that the kids just loved! The deal was sweetened about 15 minutes before we left when Brandon phoned and let me know he would be joining us!!!

Our little group of Nursery, Sunbeams, and CTR-4 aged kiddos started out at the Nauvoo station where we built temples out of sugar cubes.

  

We then made our way over to Winter Quarters and enjoyed yummy snow-cones.

  

The perilous trek then led us to cross the Sweetwater River.

    

The boys really enjoyed flexing their muscles during the stick pull games.      

What trek would be complete without a few turns in an authentic handcart!

 

Kudos to everyone who had a part in this great night. Fun was had by all and it was a great wrap up to summer, remembering our heritage in the process!

Primary Presentation

Donaven got to participate in the primary presentation this year. He memorized his lines. "I will follow Jesus Christ by praying." I think his favorite part was practicing on the stand.





Isn't he a little stud in his boots?

Then Sunday morning came. The day of the presentation and all smiles were gone and he wouldn't sing to save his life. I think it might of had something to do with having copious amounts of sugar and staying up all night after a fun filled evening at the Trunk-or-Treat. Oh well live and learn.
