Yamboree

Heath and I had a blast at the Yamboree! Thanks Jones' for letting us come! This is what we did during the week:

Thursday we had a Halloween party for the kids. Steph made some pretty amazing treats for the party. Perry took all of us on a hay ride around their land, the kids got to pick out a pumpkin, and then we decorated them. It was so cute!

Thursday night all the girls went to the YAM Queen pageant. It was a little dark so I couldn't get very good pictures. Brooklyn wanted a picture with princess Sarah-Beth in

the blue dress, and the YAM Queen is in the brown. There were a lot of princesses, duchesses, dancers- all sort of entertainment. I loved it! The dresses were huge and sparkly! Once the queen in done showing us her dress, she walks up the stairs, and all the queen's court stands around her. It was so fun! My favorite dress was the dark green one, but my picture didn't turn out. The "D" you see on the train of her dress stands for her last name- DAHLE. Each princess had a escort that helped her up the stairs after she showed us her dress, and curtsied. Their tuxes (the vest and tie) matched the girls dress color. Heath did that once! I couldn't believe that! He would have been so cute to watch.

That was day one. So fun and such a different experience. I loved it because it was a tradition. It's not often you get to see something like that. I love that small-town feel. I laughed, clapped and smiled all night! Thanks Angie and Donna for the tickets!

Day 2 of the yamboree will come tomorrow......
