Pioneer Day

We had a pretty enjoyable 24th of July. 

The weekend before, we were able to attend the Mormon

Tabernacle Choir Pioneer Day concert.  It was excellent. 

And it was free :)

 

On the 24th we braved the crowds and headed downtown

to watch the days of '47 parade.  We had a pretty good spot too.

My family has never really gone to this parade, but Steven's 

family does; which is awesome.

Weswee joined us.

 

Haegen showed me what masticated Oreo middle looks like.

He only eats the middle and gives the cookie part to his baby brother :)

 

They had a lot of nifty floats.

Bagpipes are always awesome.

Korver had this fascination with giving anything he 

picked up to Wesley; even other people's things.

 

There was even a Jesus float...

My two favorite parts always come at the beginning,

the motorcycle cops!

and a member of the First Presidency; this year it was
President Eyring :)
The rest of the day was relaxing.  We had pizza at the
Powell's, and lit off more fireworks for the kids.
