We went to Saint johns this year for the pioneer celebration. It was so much fun. We got there on wednesday and went straight to my sister aprils house to check out her 2 day old baby, she is so tiny and cute they named her audrey. Andrew was tired after working that night and took a little nap while i hungout with my mom and aprils kids. Thursday we hungout during the day and then that night was the chili dinner and ice cream social, all you can eat ice cream it was the best, but we only got 1 cause the lines were so long. Friday was the kids rodeo, my neices and nephews enter in to do some events. they did the egg toss greased pig and catching the rooster. i didnt get to see them do the greased pig and rooster cause it was at the end i had to go meet with my friend emily who i havent seen in a long time. My aunt and uncles family were at the park where i was with my friend so we went over and joined the party. We talked and had a great time. We ended up playing gogulabonkin (cant spell) it is a lee family game where you have socks rolled up for the ball and you would hit it with your hand and run the bases. Andrew wasnt too sure about it but once he started playing he had fun.
Then that night off to the campfire circle, where everyone parks around this big circle and eats dinner with their families. The homemade ice cream is always the best, and it is always so fun to be with our family, but for some reason we always end up with a pile of dirt in your mouth once the wind started we were out of there. Saturday morning was the parade. Colton had a lot of fun but didnt get any candy but next year he will be old enough to go out there and enjoy it more. All of the floats were good and at the end the fire truck comes and sprays all of those who want to get wet of course all the adults well most of them got way back so they wouldnt get wet. Most of my neices and nephews were soaked. After that we had a lee family lunch at the ramada at the church. There were close to 80 of there so we thought that was the perfect place to do it. My grandma wanted to hold colton and the first thing he did was pull at her necklace, i cant wear them cause he will end up breaking them. He loved her and couldnt stop smiling at her that was a moment to remember. Then we went to round valley to hangout with my bestest friend in the world, she had a tooth infection and was loopy from the drugs (sorry sarah) so she couldnt drive to SJ so we went up there to see her. She played with colton he was having so much fun he loves her, then they took us out to dinner , thanks sarah and sherrod. Then we left sunday morning. It was a jam packed weekend but the weather was perfect and the company was great. Thanks to my mom for letting us stay there, i love going up there to see my parents. I am glad that we had fun as a family. The pictures are out of order. oops
