Mormon Battallion Commemoration 2010


This is our eighth year, I think, attending the Mormon Battalion Commemoration. This is our first time dressing up for the parade. We actually made it on time so we could participate.



Orrin and Aleya enjoyed the props.





The girls really enjoyed marching in the parade.


This is a really fun historic event in Old Town, San Diego to honor the Mormon Battalion.


The Mormon Battalion Visitor's Center re-opened after extensive renovation.



Orrin geared up at the Fort in preparation for the march ahead.

The renovations are AMAZING and incorporate modern technology to educate and entertain.

Panning for gold.

I don't think our family would make very good pioneers, but it was sure fun to pretend!


Our favorite . . . biscuit roasting!


Mmmm. Yummy!

The girls never had so much fun doing laundry at home . . . in modern washing machines!



Everything was perfect today, except there were no free samples from the dutch oven cook-off. Someone broke the rules by bringing salsa and chips to share (possible double-dipping) and someone else called the health department and shut it all down.
