We had so many ideas for Pioneer Day this year, that we made it into a Pioneer Week.
Here is the rundown of last week.
Monday: Made paper covered wagons.
Wednesday: Learned the song, "Little Pioneer Children" and drew pictures to go along with the words. (I can't find those right now, which stinks because Esther and William drew some great pictures).
Thursday: Before Cameron had to go to work we drove to Omaha and visited the Mormon Trail Visitors Center at Winter Quarters.
This is a typical bunk for the seafaring pioneers. Each family would get two beds total - that's some pretty tight sleeping.
Friday we planned to read pioneer stories from the current Friend Magazine, but we forgot
Saturday we attended our stake's "This is the Place" party. There were crafts, games and food. Good times were had by all.
Sunday (today) we watched Legacy to wrap up our Pioneer Week. We've had a lot of fun, and we all have a better understanding of what our predecessors went through for what they believed.
