pioneer day

I was talking to my sister last night and she reminded me that today is Pioneer Day. She of course had the whole day planned out with all things pioneer...very cute. One of the things she had planned for her kids, I did with my activity day girls last year...and so I thought I would do it with Carter and Clara today too.

First, I talked to them about what a pioneer was, and taught them the Pioneer Children song, you know, ...and walked and walked and walked and walked...

Then we did a Pioneer Day treasure hunt. I especially love Carter's authentic pioneer gear! They loved it, here are some pictures:

And I had one more picture of the two of them holding their treasure (also known as Smarties), and being so excited about it...and I accidentally deleted it...ugh! Anyway, Happy Pioneer Day!
