Happy Pioneer Day!

Such a fun day to celebrate our Pioneer heritage!  We headed up to beautiful Heber, where there were second cousins to play with on slip n slides...

They really made giant bubbles!

After food and frivolity in Heber, we headed back home for some aerial fireworks!  Grandmere and Bapa bought a bunch for us to set off...pretty exciting!  This one has 200 in it! 

They were SO fun!  They make me laugh, for some reason...they just go flying into the air and it is humorous.  The giant 200 missile battery?  Each one of those 200 missiles went up with ear piercing noise!  That one made us laugh the hardest.  And there were two of them!

I had to literally plug my ears it was so loud, but the girls had a great time laying on the grass again and watching the sky light up. 

What a wonderful Pioneer Day...how grateful we are that those strong men and women made that trek all those years ago.  We are so blessed by their examples and their sacrifices.
