Pioneer Day

We're not big at celebrating Pioneer Day around our house. For the past five years we have gone to Tammy and Bruce's cabin for the weekend, but this year they had other plans, so we had to come up with our own plans. Since we hadn't seen fireworks yet this year we wanted to take the kids somewhere with them. Luckily West Jordan was having their celebration, so we went there. 

We took the kids on a pony ride. Makayla was really excited, but Caden was pretty terrified, as you can tell from the looks on their faces. 

 They had a small petting zoo, so the kids got to see some animals.

 And when the kids are being good, I make them pose in positions that look like they really love each other! (They really are best friends, but sometimes they get on each other's nerves.)

Then we got settled in to watch fireworks. They took a while to get started, but when it was finally going, they were pretty good. I think all of us thoroughly enjoyed our night together as a family. 

 Caden said the fireworks were "too noisy."

Happy Pioneer Day!
