More Pioneer Day Festivities

Each year at North Park in Provo, on the 24th of July, they hold a fantastic Pioneer extravaganza.  There is food, lots of booths selling stuff, demonstrations of pioneer skills, and fun activities for children.  This year there was a petting zoo, pony rides, you could make bonnets or mustaches, do face painting, throw hatchets, play an Indian drum, and ride in a covered wagon pulled by a 4x4 (very Pioneer-ish).  There are always firetrucks, old cars, and live music, and the Pioneer Village in North Park is always open too.  We like to go and mingle with the masses.

The highlight this year was the covered wagon ride.  It was a new feature and we rode not once, but twice.  The children also took great delight in seeing the donkey in the petting zoo poop.  I don't understand their current fascination with all things potty related, but I hope is passes quickly.  So here are some pictures, though not as many as I would have liked because the camera battery died.  Again.

The covered wagon ride.

So cool!

Look! Poop!

So interesting.

Isn't she a cute pioneer girl?

And she wanted me to get mine painted too.

She took this picture.

And our matching stars and moons.
