West Ward Ho!

Happy Pioneer Day!

It is such a surreal experience to live in Utah during Pioneer Day ( this is where Utah celebrates the arrival of the first pioneer settlers to the Salt Lake Valley.) We have never experienced a July 24th celebration "Utah Style!"
As a little girl I heard stories from my Mom, "when I was a girl we would camp out and Grandpa would create/bring bleachers to save our prime parade watching seats!"


That is what DH and some of the Cousins did this year. They slept (or stayed up all night) saving "prime parade watching seats" DH had such a GREAT time doing this. I, of course was at home in our cozy bed getting a good night sleep for the Pioneer Day Celebrations!

We had such a great day. We watched the parade and then took DH home to get some sleep! We then went to "the gathering place" my Aunt and Uncle's abode for dinner and fireworks!

What a GREAT Pioneer Day!
