Pioneer Day

I'm sure all states have their own individualized holidays, but I've gotta say that Pioneer Day is pretty fantastic. You just can't go wrong with family, bbq's, and fireworks. Paul, Cohen, and I had a two day celebration.

On Wednesday we went to Bountiful to have dinner with Paul's Grandma Crandal and then to visit Grandpa Crandal in the hospital. He is getting between 3 and 4 hours of physical therapy a day and seems to be recovering well. While we were at the hospital Ruth was good enough to give Cohen a ride on her leg like she always does and he absolutely loved it. I tried to do it to give her a break and I had a really hard time, she is one tough grandma!!


We also went up to Paul's aunt and uncle's (Reed and Syd's) for fireworks, they have the BEST view from their spectacular back yard. It was hard keeping Cohen entertained while we waited for it to get dark, but once the fireworks came on he was in heaven oohing and aahing. It was a really fun day.

Thursday we had my family over for a little bbq and our own little fireworks show, the kids loved it. After dinner the boys went out to play croquet, I didn't know it was such a violent game.


It was so fun to spend time with both of our families, I look forward to getting together with both of them again soon.
