Pioneer Days!

July 24th was Manassa Pioneer Days! We had a ton of fun spending time with our family and watching the floats go by. These are some of the pictures from the parade. The kids had a ton of fun watching the floats going by. They received a ton of candy thanks to Heather who was getting all of her friends to send a ton of candy this way.
My parents came out from California and it was the first time they got to experience Pioneer Days. The funny thing about that is that its the coldest one that I have experienced. It was fun though to be able to spend the day with them at something we love to do.

The Train!

Thursday the 22nd we went on the train over La Veta Pass. We happen upon free tickets the saturday before at the Air show. It was a blast. Since we had family in town for the week we all went to ride the train. It was cool because they were shooting a promotional video and we were given an oppertunity to be able to see the train come up the mountain.

Faith had a blast on the train. On the way home it started to rain and she was just singing away didn't care she was getting wet. The train horn was a tad loud for alex on the way home because our car was at the front of the train next to the engine. On the way home when we were almost home Alex said I love the train.
