Menan Heritage Days



Howdy Ya'll! We had a blast at the Menan Heritage Days Festival in September! WEll, okay. so Rachel and Brooklyn weren't cooperating for the Photographer at all, but we still had fun.


We got to dress up in costumes, walk in the parade, buy the best homemade pumpkin pie at the baked goods auction ( My grandma made it, so I am a little biased). Then run in the races, and carve zucchinni boats for a boat race down the canal! (Brigham loved that) He was a true Trapper, and carried his BB gun around all day, and luckily we had taken the amo away, or we would have had some wounded pioneers! Other games and activites were fun, like the photo Booth....don't laugh, the kids picked out my hat!:)



Brigham and his friend Andrew really got into the trapper mood! There wasn't a safe squirrel in Menan!




Something that the settlers might not have been able to do is play tug-of-war over a mound of foam from the fire department! Brigham really dug in to keep from going through the foam, and his team won! But soon he was covered from head to foot with foam! Rachel wa s a little more cautious getting in to the foam,... look in the right corner and you can see olivia and Brigham too....before they were covered!
