Pioneer Days 2015

This year Rory and I were in charge of the parade for Wellington Pioneer days.  It was a lot of work but I think it was a huge success.  We had approx. 34 entries and tons of people showed up to watch the parade.  The local paper was there and got pictures of 3 of my 4 kids that were in the parade.  After the parade we had activities in the park and stayed busy for most the day.  It was so strange not having grandma Archie there, she was always with us at Wellington days in the park.  I bought some stuff from the DUP because I was missing her.  Connor, Kadee, and Kinlee entered a Water Wise picture contest through Wellington City.  Each of them drew a water saving picture and turned it in to city hall.  Connor and Kinlee both took 3rd place in their age groups and won a t-shirt and Coldstone gift certificate.  After all the festivities we went home and rested for a minute before we were off to Travis and Sandy's for fireworks.  It was so fun playing outside, visiting, and watching fireworks with friends.  I'm so grateful we can make these memories with the kids and hopefully we are making a positive influence on the community.
