My kids look forward to Pioneer Days every summer. They love going down to see their cousins, watch the parades, run in the races, ride the carnival rides and ride horses. We didn't go to Pioneer Days last year because I was three weeks away from having Andrew. We couldn't miss it this year. I have many fond memories of Pioneer Days from my childhood and I hope my kids are making the same kind of memories.
This year I entered the annual Manassa Pioneer Days 5K run. My sister and I did it together. We started out running like everyone else but sadly after a block and a half we decided to walk. We aren't runners but we had fun walking and talking. I don't know how long it took us to finish but I do know we didn't break any records or come in last.
The kids don't get to see my family too often so it is such a treat when we go down to visit. They house hop from one cousin's house to another. After the celebration was over my parents invited the boys to stay down for a few extra days. They had sleepovers and went swimming at Splash Land. (I was really happy to find out that the pool had reopened). I'm glad they were able to spend time with their grandparents and cousins but I am even more glad to have them back home.
