Pioneer Day Parade

Ever since we moved to Las Vegas our family has gone to the Tri-Stake Pioneer Parade & Festivities. Each year we have fun too. This is was especially fun because we got to participate in the parade. Which I have to say was the first time I got to do that. This year Bishop asked the Primary if we would participate in the Parade or have a Booth. Immediately I agreed to the Parade. Thinking it's easy and we get it done with and can enjoy the rest of the day playing. Well all was true, except the easy part.

First I had an idea that we just have the kids decorate their bikes and then ride then through the parade, I thought that's easy & cute, then I thought I would borrow a play house and put signs on it with words that Strengthen Families.

Then . . . you can only imagine it got bigger and bigger ideas. The best thing is I had so much fun making everything. Alix helped me with tons of the painting. She painted most of the orange signs, the red on the house and the brown roof.

I had so much fun making this float. But the best thing of all was watching the children stand on top of the float with their BIG SMILES THROWING CANDY OUT TO THE CROWD. I think it's moments like those why leaders, teachers, and parents put so much effort in things they do, for that one moment they forget about all their worries and imagine themselves the person they want to become. I like to admit in a humble way one of my talents is creativity; however, I think this idea came from someone above.

I LOVE SERVING IN THE PRIMARY!
