Emmaline's Adventures - #4 - Pioneer Day

In Utah they celebrate Pioneer Day every year. For Pioneer Day this year we went to a farm. It was really crowded. It was a farm where they show people how they lived in the old days. We volunteered to help, so we got to dress up in pioneer clothes.

First we ate our lunch under the shade. It was REALLY hot!

Then we started to walk around. Grandma showed us a dugout house. Then Grandma taught us some pioneer games we could play. I was really good at playing the game where you push an iron ring with a wooden stick.

Then we played another game. It is called Graces. You have 2 sticks and you put a ring on it. Then you cross the sticks and then uncross them and the ring shoots and the other person tries to catch it.

Then we went to the woodworking shop to visit Grandpa. These are pictures of us in the woodworking shop.



Lincoln is riding a rocking horse and Jocelyn and I were trying to help him. Mom's Uncle Jack built that horse.



This is Lil playing with some of the kid work tools!



I like the rocking horse, too.

It was really hot, so Grandpa gave us popsicles!



After the woodworking shop we got to ride the train! We went around 2 times. Then we got our picture taken by the engine!



Then we went over and rode the ponies. We had to get helmets on to be able to ride. We have to be under 12 years old.







Idgie liked riding the pony SO MUCH, that she didn't want to get off!
