Texas Days!

Here in Texas, we have our own little country, or it seems that way to me sometimes. They celebrate Texas starting in Kindergarten. They say the normal "Pledge of Allegiance" and then follow it with another pledge to the Texas flag! They have a week long celebrate of Texas in school. In Idaho, you learned about the state in 4th grade and that was it. Here it is all through elementary school. It is great to have pride in your state. But really I think you should have more pride in your country. Anyway, here are some pictures I took of the Elena, Adelyn, and Hyrum during Texas week. Hyrum definitely thought he was part of the big boys!When he lost interest in being big, he found the sandbox.
They played a lot of games and here is Elena during her sack race. I thought she was going to fall in that dress!

They put on a parade for the other grades to watch. They had to make some kind of cowboy float. I only got out supplies and let her do it all herself.

Elena and Hyrum are showing us where we live. Did you notice Hyrum's cute little pants?!

Elena wanted her picture taken on Adelyn's cowgirl day.Adelyn is wearing her Texas Day outfit my mom bought her. Her face is all beat up from a hula hoop accident. How that happened I have no idea.
Adelyn is watching Elena's grade's parade. She sure looks excited doesn't she. ;)
