Primary Pioneer days at the ward

As you can see I have two pictures out of wack.

I had them in right and some how deleted them when I was jocking the pictures around. I have even changed the times but it doesn't seem to matter.

Grandpa and I went to Patuxent ward to the pioneer days because they asked Grandpa to tell stories of butter .

Trudy and Steve stayed home with Baxter because he had his tonsils taken out Thursday.

As you can see someone had brought aprons, which Ceci is wearing, and suspendors, like Noah has on.

They divided the boys from the girls and I tried to follow them around to get pictures.

Noah and Zane went to pull a cart. As you can see it developed problems. Grandpa and Brother Nelson tried to fix the cart. So the kids got some lessons on how the pioneers fixed the wheels. The Ceci and Stevie learned out to piece a quilt.

After Zane and Noah couldn't pull the cart they went to a station to build paper hand carts. The brothern told them stories of the handcarts.

Zane making his oxen hat.

Cecilia and Stevie here are making a ox hat.

You can see Grandpa and Brother Nelson worked awhile trying to get the cart fixed. Grandpa found out someone put the bearings in the wheel backwards.

Here Grandpa is relaxing while Brother Nelson went to see if he could buy a bearing. He came saying it would cost $40.00 for a new bearing and the store didn't have them in stock. I found out it was the primary president that put the bearing in backwards. It is the Bishop's cart. She felt bad about the whole thing.

Here is Ceci making her paper hand cart.

Stevie did pretty well making her cart.

You can tell Noah is pretty serious about his quilting.

Here is Grandpa tell the kids about butter. He thought he was going to be inside so he put everything on the computer, forgetting the pioneers did not have electricty or computers. Good thing he charged his battery the night before.
You can see all the kids have baby bottles that had cream in them. After the butter was made they ate the butter on rolls.

Here the girls and boys are getting ready for a tug of war.

The girls are so happy. They won.

After it was all over everyone had watermelon to eat.
