Pioneer Day 2012

 So the primary was in charge of our Ward Pioneer Day Celebration. We did it down at the Power Plant Park in Buhl, on tuesday the 24th. We had families sign up to bring a salad   or a pie. The ward provided the hamburgers and hotdogs. The primary brought the drinks (homemade rootbeer and water) and the condiments. We also put together some fun activities to try and get everyone involved. But note to self. The older members of the ward are okay with sitting and watching and talking. So for next time all the activities will be geared more towards the younger generation. It was a great party and we have such a great ward that pitched in and made it a fun evening.

We had a tug of war and did different competitions. 

The kids sat on the hill until it was there turn to join in.

The Young Men's Leaders vs the young men.

The Primary vs the Bishopric

We did young women vs their leaders; young men vs the young women; primary vs their parents and a few others. It was the biggest hit.

Their was also a few relay games for the kids.

For the adults we did a milking station and it was a pretty fun to watch.

We used bottles from the dairy and you had to fill the cup part way . There were teams of 4.  Most people were pretty rough and the nipples came off the bottles. Its a good thing we don't have to milk our own cows to get milk :)!

Everyone had a blast.

We also had a station where you could shake your own butter and put it on a roll with homemade jam, there was stick pull that lasted a short while and a station set up to take family pictures. So it kept everyone busy and we had a fantastic turn out.
