Primary Pioneer Parade and Picnic, my presidency never had a meeting to organize this, to many vacations etc. It was easy to pull together though. We did an opening of singing as a gathering activity because we knew many families with small children subscribe to MST, especially when they have to load up a bike into the car. Then we broke up into small groups to rotate into 6 stations; pioneer games, paper sun bonnets & vests & decorate bikes, dig for potatoes and peel them, hammer and nails, letters to missionaries and military, kneading bread dough. After that we watched rope/whip cracking. Then a brief, short, tiny parade around half the parking lot. 11 year old's on bikes go different speeds than 3 year old's on plastic barbie trikes they just got. The parade fell apart and they roamed all over the parking lot, oh well. Then we ate hot dogs and potluck. The hot dogs got cold quickly, oh well. Some people hung around talking well over an hour after it was over. The next day when one of the kids showed up to primary wearing his paper vest I knew I could call the activity a success!
Thank you to my wonderful family for working so hard and being willing to do everything I told them or asked them to do!!
My hubby went out walking our neighborhood doorbelling with a political candidate for several hours.
Mark came home from his scout camp out, 2 boys and 2 leaders. I'm grateful for leaders who are willing to go even with such small numbers! He was happy.
