24th of July Pioneer Celebration

We are waiting for the pioneer parade to start.  This year it is in Thatcher.  I'm always glad when it's anywhere but Safford.  Esther, Soren, Brody, Rebecca, Camille, and Grandma Sherry.

Lillian, Lindsay, Scott Grandma and Allison

Isabel, Marlie, Soren, Harrison, and Polly

Rachel, Brynlie, Rebecca, Camille, and Grandma

Scott and Damon McCrae.

After the parade, some of us went to the football stadium to eat yummy BBQ and visit, watch a show and fireworks.  DeWitt was right in his element.  Lots of girls.  There were some he knew and some he didn't.  So for the ones that he didn't know he told Lindsay (with a cast) to go over and hug the cute girl and DeWitt would go and get her and then a conversation would start.  Lindsay was a bit apprehensive, but was trying so hard to please DeWitt.  We all had a good laugh.

Carson was tickling Allison

DeWitt and his X-Men moves, ( I really think he was tired of me taking pictures)

Rebecca and Scott in the back.  It was such a pleasant evening.  I was so glad we were just hanging out.

Lillian and Polly, one of their favorite treats, kettle corn

Lillian and Polly.  They looked so cute at church today, so I tried to capture their cuteness, Polly had already changed.

This is Sunday.  DeWitt was asked to give two talks.  One in church about Pioneers and one at the general Priesthood meeting, that night.  He is a natural at the pulpit.  He works really hard on his talks and he practices, and he gives them to us first, and then when he gets to church he really does well, and he did.
