Pioneer Day

So when we went to church with my mom before Pioneer Day the kids saw a blurb in the bulletin about a Pioneer Day picnic. They got all excited and really wanted to go. The day of the picnic my mom made the observation that in the announcement there was no mention of the need to bring a side or dessert. First red flag. Well, it was supposed to start at 6pm. We got there about 5:55. I jokingly told my parents that I should drive around the block a few times since we were early. When we pulled into the parking lot, we were not alone like I thought we would be. The sheltered picnic spot was almost full already with hungry people. Red flag number two. It was hot that day. Super hot. We waited until about 6:30 for the opening prayer. Then we noticed the food table with it's lack of food. Red flag number 3. Then the line started and we were almost to the back of 600 people. Red flag number 4. We didn't wait for any more red flags, we were headed to SONIC!!!! Yummy slushies and good company. We found out later that the people in charge planned for 250 people and ran out of food right away. YIKES! P.S. I am not blaming anyone! I feel for the people in charge, and I'm glad it wasn't me. Here's some fun pics of the night as well as some from Dairy Queen the night before when we had Miss R with us. Oh, and minus Princess who was at a sleepover with her aunt.
