Pioneer Day



It was sooo hot that day. I like how you can tell how much Thing 2 loves her older sister in this picture.

I had never heard of Pioneer Day until I was in college here in UT and not until after I came home from my mission. On July 24th we celebrate the trek the pioneers made from the East and it is a lot of fun for the kids. We went to the parade and then over to the pioneer museum. The girls made a pioneer children game with a button and a string and got little do rags to wear like the pioneers wore. There was a couple there that had outfits similar to those worn by some settlers/mountain men. They had a real tee pee set up and inside different pelts for the kids to feel. They were serious in their mountaineering! It was pretty impressive.
