HAPPY PIONEER DAY

Today is the 24th of July, the day the saints first entered the Salt Lake Valley. Utah celebrates it as a state holiday called Pioneer Day. Since it fell on a Sunday this year the big celebration will be tomorrow. There will be a parade and fireworks. Most businesses are closed or the ones that are opened are having big sales.

We had a few friends and some family members over tonight for treats and we set off some fireworks in our backyard. The kids loved them. The dogs loved them even more. We have these 2 incredibly crazy dogs who love to chase and bite at fireworks. They are half the entertainment.

It's still outrageously hot here--and everywhere I guess. I sure hope it cools down soon. Have a nice week everyone!
