This past weekend we celebrated Pioneer Day (it's actually on the 24th). It's a Utah holiday celebrating the pioneers coming to Utah. It's also called the Days of '47 (as in 1847) celebration. On Friday Sadie had cowboy day at school. They all got cowboy hats and had a pizza party. Then on Saturday we took the train downtown and went to the children's festival where we had a good time. First item of business there was to get Sadie a balloon hat and then it was over to the Home Depot booth where Sadie got a Home Depot orange apron and got to make a birdhouse (with a little help from dad). After that she and I went down one of the slides that was set up and then we ate lunch (hot dogs, a hamburger for dad, and some chips). After that Sadie played some of the games and won some prizes. She also got to decorate (and eat) a cookie. About that time it was over 100* but the fire truck came to the rescue and hooked up a hose to the hydrant and squirted water from the truck. It was very refreshing. After cooling down we took the train back to Sandy and went for a Jamba Juice. That night Bruce, Kate, Ian, Solomon, and Jacquee came over for some pizza and games - a celebration not only of pioneer day but also of Sol's birthday! Sunday we went and saw the new pirate movie with Sol and jacquee (great movie) and Monday we went to my brother Mike's for a bar-b-que. We capped the celebration off at home with some fireworks. It was a fun weekend for all. Check out the
gallery for more pictures!
