Pioneer Weekend

Last weekend we had a Clegg Family reunion up Settlement Canyon in Tooele. It was awesome to get together with my cousins, aunts, and uncles and visit, laugh and talk, catch up on all the news, reminisce about fond memories. This is the first reunion I've been able to attend in a long time and it was really great!

The food is always fantastic at Clegg gatherings! Clegg's are known for their good food!

When I wasn't talking to my cousins I was watching my kids play in the stream. They had the best time walking up and down the stream.

Caleb even got right in and threw some rocks and sat right down in the water!

Caleb didn't mind it was cold, it felt good on a hot day, but he would have walked all the way up the stream had I let him!

Mara and Reagan coloring together. This is my cousin's little girl. Looking at this picture reminded me of being a little girl with my cousins and I am grateful my kids could have this opportunity to get to know their family and see all their cousins.

Ty is trying to get Mara and Reagan to do something....what I don't know! But they had fun running around with the other little cousins.

Caleb loves finding bugs--he likes to pick them up in his two little fingers! Here he found a few ants and was really excited!

Ty trying to climb out of the stream onto the bridge!

Mara having the time of her life!

Caleb would find rocks from clear up by the pavilion and carry them all the way down to the stream to throw them in! Silly Boy!

I'm excited to be living closer so we can go to many more family reunions--and somehow I was nominated, voted, or maybe somehow volunteered to be in charge of next's years!! Yikes! I better get started on the planning!

Friday night we returned to Price and Saturday we spent the day with our Stake celebrating Pioneer Day!
Blessed Honor Pioneer!
I love the pioneers! I love that I'm not a pioneer! I love hearing their brave stories of courage and obedience. I look up to my pioneer ancestors and grateful for the heritage and legacy they left for me.

Saturday we began the celebration with a parade--except instead of watching the parade we were actually in the parade!

Caleb rode in the stroller and walked with his dad parts of the time.

Ty and Mara rode their bikes. Ty said this parade was too slow and wanted to just cruise past everyone to the end!

Mara liked the downhill part better than the uphill but it wasn't too far and they both did a great job in the parade!

After the parade we all met at the church for some games and lunch.

Ty and Benson were partners in the 3-legged race!

They did great and had fun and even came in 2nd place!

Mara and Caleb found the candy stash and wanted to eat as much candy as they possibly could!

Ty was pretty good at the leap frog game!

Mara wasn't too sure at the hoop race!

Caleb thought the hoops were pretty fun to play with!

Button, Button who has the button?!

Caleb's favorite thing were the balloons!

For lunch we enjoyed hamburgers, hotdogs, salads and for a treat popsicles! Yum--Caleb's
favorite!

While at the parade we met a nice family in another ward. We talked for a while before the parade started and later they invited us over for a BBQ and fireworks at their house. It was a lot of fun meeting new families and friends.
