Pioneer day fun!

So in Utah July 24th is a Holiday. We call it Pioneer day, it's great! There is a Boy Scout Pancake breakfast, a parade and usually a few activities at the park. Not to mention it's usually a good ol time with the fam! Here is a recap of our Holiday this year. We were up at 5:30 got the kids and started rushing around to get ready to meet Papa Bills (Jo's dad) at the Boy Scout Breakfast at 7:00 am. After that we delivered some Scentsy and went home to get ready to walk the 4 1/2 blocks to the parade. With 3 kids and 2 dogs this was an undertaking, but fun nevertheless. We waited for the parade to come and enjoyed it once it did. Afterwards we went to the Memorial wall that was in town. After that we did lunch with Darin before he left for work, then the kids invited a couple of friends over and they played until it was time to go home. All in all it was a pretty fun day! Here a few pics from our adventures.

Jo waiting on the parade. Kellee decided that since Jo is always taking the pictures and is never in any, she would snap one of her!

This was Papa Bills and Korbin's favorite part of the parade! Where else would you see John Deere Tractors as a float?

Grandma, Korbin, Darin and Karlee with Scotty just waiting patiently for the parade to begin.

The 9/11 Memorial set up in the Memorial. This had all the names of those that lost their lives that tragic day.

This was Jo's favorite display at the Memorial. Boots, hat, gun and the soldiers dog tag. How thankful we are for the freedom we have because brave men and women chose to go fight for all of us.
