Pioneer Weekend

Pioneer Day is an official holiday celebrated on July 24 in the U.S. state of Utah, with some celebrations in regions of surrounding states originally settled by Mormon pioneers. It commemorates the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847

Our neighborhood has a bike parade to celebrate
 All the kids decorate their bikes and ride thru the neighborhood to a local church
 The church serves breakfast for the whole neighborhood
 Afterwards we took the kids boating at Utah Lake
 The weather was great until a storm rolled in and cut things short
 I bought a kneeboard and Hawke got up on his first try
 Kenya and Olivia had a great time on the tube
 Hawke and Angelica
