Pioneer Day!

I know, I'm a bit late for this...I've had other exciting news to share! But I do want to share our fun we had on the 24th! We ALWAYS go to Bountiful for the 24th! It's fun for the girls and I (for some reason Paul skips out on us). We always start off with the parade on the 23rd. According to Emma, this year it was WAY too long. But thankfully Sonja brought umbrellas for shade and Mom got us a good spot to watch from. It also didn't hurt that we had lots of good food and water to help us make it through! Then on the 24th it was the carnival at Bountiful city park! I think I love taking my kids to this as much if not more than they like going! There are always fun things to do! Thankfully this year they brought back some rides! The girls

tried not to burn themselves on all the hot metal, but they had fun! Then there was rock painting(not sure I get the point of this), fish pond, yummy food, the pony ride, and of course the FACE PAINTING! This was the most exciting for these lovely ladies and of course the longest line! Kassidy got a spider and it's web, Aubree(my niece) got fireworks, Emma got a pony, and Addi got red, white, and blue stars. After the carnival we went back to Grandma's and relaxed for a while. Then we had a BBQ at Sonja and Frank's for dinner, for early evening entertainment the girls ran through the sprinklers. Addison was hilarious! She kept sitting on the sprinkler and then telling Frank that she was "really wet". Then we made smores and did fireworks! GREAT holiday celebration!
