Another First
Yesterday our stake had a pioneer days celebration at a park at the stake center. It was great fun. Will and Kaytie came along and played with me. At the activity, we had a picnic, everyone was supposed to bring their own food so we brought some KFC popcorn chicken. Someone went around and offered potato salad to everyone so i ate some of that too. After eating, there was a play about some pioneers that I watched. It was very interesting. I tried to make friends with a girl in front of me. I walked up to her and looked up at her and she seemed friendly, so i put my hand on her shoulder, but she scooted away from me. I went back to mommy and then decided to try again, so I went up to her again and started to play with her hair. She seemed annoyed so I started to hit her on the head so Mommy grabbed me and took me into the field to walk around. After that there were games and dancing and watermelon and homemade icecream and sweet breads! I loved the banana bread and the icecream. And I had my first taste of watermelon! It was good! The music started playing a funny song that made everyone start flapping thier arms like chickens, and I wanted to dance to so I walked up to them and tried to dance. There was a boy a year or so older than me that started dancing around me and it was fun. Mommy helped me dance the hokey pokey and I had fun with that too! After the dancing was over, we went home and Will and Kaytie visited for some time, while Daddy pulled me around in the wagon. I ended up going to bed late and without a bath, so first thing this morning after breakfast I got a bath to be all fresh and clean for church.
At church today I got to take the bread and water just like everyone else for the first time. I don’t understand why it is done but I felt a reverance from it that stayed with me throughout the whole day. The rest of sacrament meeting I stayed sitting on the bench or in mommy or daddy’s lap and sat reverently reading my books or eating my crackers. I did play with the young woman sitting behind me named Britney a little bit though, she is so pretty! (No wonder Uncle Brady likes her) I was quiet during the lesson Mommy and Daddy taught and sat in Taryn and Sabrina’s lap, and then during Sharing Time I helped participate in the lesson by pulling the things off the bulletin so the teacher could re-tape them up higher in the order she was supposed to put them in. Now I’m exhausted and need a nap.
