Pioneer Day...AGAIN!
Blake was so jealous of our field trip to Hyde Street Pier that we went down again this morning. We can't pass up a free activity, especially when, in addition to all the ships, there's also live sailor bands and different rope tying, lifeboat lowering, and sail lifting demonstrations for the Festival of Sail. Max loved showing Blake the highlights of all the ships. You know, the computer keyboards, the displays with buttons, and the roped-off rooms. And since I had Blake to help me carry the stroller up all the stair cases, we were able to explore the upper decks of several ships. It was a beautiful day and we really loved watching all the crazy swimmers race into the water without wet suits. It was a nice day, but not THAT nice.
Then, we went down to San Mateo for our Stake's Pioneer Picnic. And wow! I couldn't be sad for not being in Utah anymore. There was a fabulous BBQ (I think Max ate two hot dogs and I ate two heaping spoonfuls of frog-eyed salad), pioneer games, and dress-ups. Look at this Pioneer Family. I think Blake would have done a good job pulling us from Nauvoo to Salt Lake. I love this holiday! Happy Pioneer Day...AGAIN!
