Pioneer Day

Here in Mesa they don't really celebrate Pioneer day.  So I have taken it upon myself to do something every year for my kids.  We were supposed to get together with some other friends and do food, crafts, and games,  I was in charge of the food part.  My friend unfortunately had to back out at the last minute so we only ended up doing the food part.

First I had everyone shake some cream to make our butter.

While they did that I made wheat biscuits, beef jerky and corn on the cob.

While the kids ate I told them about the pioneers, who they were, why they moved, and why we celebrate them.  While it was done on a lot smaller scale this year we still took some time out of the day to remember them.
