Primary Activity

I am the primary president for our small ward, and we planned a pumpkin festival for our kids. We actually had about 20 kids there, but I didn't get a picture before they all disappeared. We had a lot of fun. It was a lot of work and planning, but it all paid off because the kids had a really good time. We had about 50 pumpkins donated to us, so the kids painted pumpkins and then got to take these extra pumpkins home. We also made pumpkin cookies, played some pumpkin games, and ate lunch. It was a lot of fun. Oh, and Peyton got to stay home with Daddy, so that was nice for me!

Primary pioneer activity

This was the primary activity that me and my counselor put together last minute. My sweet counselor is pregnant with her 4th child. She is due in 3 days, and really wanted to do this activity before she had her baby. Poor thing, she could hardly walk.

We had the kids bring one thing that they would have wanted to talk with them in their covered wagons. It was funny to see what they would take.

Here is Peyton looking like a pioneer. I am glad I snapped this picture before he fell into the stream. Whoops! Lets just say watching him and doing a primary activity is a challenge. I saw him heading to the stream, but couldn't get there fast enough. He really just walked into it and then fell over sideways. He was covered in mud, but was still as happy as can be.

Here is Peyton and his buddy Joseph playing. Poor Joseph, he dosen't have a chance to be tall at all. Peyton already towers over him and Joseph is 4 1/2 months older.
