Each year our LDS ward has the young children of the Primary dress up in Pioneer outfits and parade around a local park in a parade enactment of the Mormon Pioneers entering the Salt Lake Valley on July 24th--Utah's Pioneer Day. After the parade, the community is served up a hot breakfast and hears a patriotic message. This year the breakfast included: hash browns, pancakes with homemade caramel, apple cinnamon and sour cream, and maple syrup, cut up fruit, orange juice, and milk.
Hannah has on her (haven't eaten and I'm grumpy face). She stayed up with Mom altering this "pioneer dress" of her grandmothers (from the 1970's. Rebekah calls it "antique" He he.) to fit her. She refused to wear
a pioneer bonnet and demanded Swan Lake hair. She looks rather medieval, doesn't she (Minus the flip flops)?
This evening, most of our siblings and their children came to a dinner and game night. Instead of games or a movie, when Mom and Dad Clayton left, we sat in the living room and talked. Beth (Campbell) Clayton finally realized that it was true--Clayton's have serious insomnia and sleep issues! Melissa Walsh Clayton noted that a routine, scheduled bedtime, getting up early, have all helped Matt. David is getting up at 5:30 to walk and hike near his home and read scriptures. All excellent ideas!
