Today is "Pioneer Day"......
Now many people may not know but in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints it is a legit holiday....July 24th. (we're talkin fireworks and parades people!!!!)
It is the day (in 1847) that the pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley after being persecuted (in Missourin/Illinois/Ohion/etc) and seeking a safe haven to worship as they may. A few of my ancestors were with that first company of pioneers.
When I saw my kids running down the road like this, I couldn't help but think of the song, "Here comes the oxcart" for Pioneer Day.
Bronson had the jump rope tied to the stroller and took off with Kellyn and Royce in it.
.....giggling all the way.
Brooks got a little on video......and there happened to be a little mishap with Iris in there too.
Ya know......just a little glimpse of my life here folks.
oh, and Happy Pioneer Day!!!
