Pioneer Day

We had a wonderful pioneer day. It was filled with parades, festivities, barbeques and fireworks. It was very hot here in good ole Washington, Utah though, and it really made me appreicate the pioneers that settled this beautiful area. I really had trouble keeping Jarom cool, and I can't imagine how frustrating it would be for those pioneer women to try to care for their babes in such suffocating weather.


At the end of the day, Dallin was running around in his swimming suit with his friends and just having the most carefree evening. We were waiting for the fireworks show to start, so I laid a blanket out on the grass and just looked up at the stars while he ran around. I felt like I was in a movie or something, it was just so picture perfect. The baby was in bed after a long hot day, Dallin was running around blowing his whistle with the wind in his hair, the clear starlight sky, the warm summer night........perfect. If I could describe serenity, that night would be it.
