Pioneer Day!

One thing you can always count on in Ivins for the 24th of July is the Pioneer day Parade. This year we did double duty. 

Our ward does a float each year and this year it was the Young men and Young Women's turn to build it. 

Our theme was "Built upon the ROCK" We had some of our youth that are in a band bring their equipment and rocked out while the primary kids came dressed as rock stars and danced around the float to the music.

It was seriously so much fun and one of the coolest floats in the parade this year. 

I also decided to enter the Preschool in the parade this year. 

The girls were so excited to be a part of the preschool float. They helped with everything. At one point I started chickening out and they talked me into still doing it. 

Gentry and Hallee sat on the float and blew bubbles while Sadie, Calli and Kassi threw candy and handed out flyer's.  It turned out to be a lot of fun!

After the parade Adam spent the day trenching the yard (he was trying to get out of the picture) and

putting in the sprinkling system.  I swear this guy never stops working.  He works full 12-14 hours a day at work and then comes home and works on the yard  every day and all day on weekends.  He amazes me everyday. He is such a hard worker and is doing it all so my preschool will be ready to open the doors in September.  

After all the pipes were in Gentry and Halle had a blast running through the dark trying to jump over the trenches.  Yes, it it about 10 pm and Hallee is still over playing and Yes, Gentry is still in her swimming suit.  It is definantly summer at the Peterson house!
