pioneer day and missions




the 24th of july in utah is pioneer day. this is the day the 2 stakes in our town put on a big shin dig. they had a fun parade that all the ward primaries got to be in. our primary dressed as missionaries. barrett and cameron had a blast and were so excited to be part of the "biggest parade of the year"...(here it is, anyway!) after the parade we spent the day at the city park for fun games, prizes and lunch...it was my kind of carnival...really low key. just after we got home, this happened!!

it was such a nice change to this hot hot weather! i don't think it had rained since we moved in to this house! later that day, we went over to grandma and grandpa's for a bbq, our own fireworks and we caught the orem owlz fireworks just as we were leaving the neighborhood to come home.


speaking of missions...2 days after pioneer day
we were excited be there when my little brother cuyler opened his mission call to the
Mongolia Ulaanbaatar Mission!!
i think he was a bit shocked! we are excited for cuyler.
wow, what a great experience he is sure to have!

That looks like a fun pioneer day. We had just a regular day around here. Hmph. Congrats to Cuyler!

I can't believe Cuyler is that old-crazy! I love the small town festivities too.
