Utah celebrates the 24th of July like they celebrate the 4th of July. It's a celebration for the Pioneers that after much turmoil and strife made it into the Utah Valley where they could finally live in peace and joy in their beliefs. Most people get the day off of work--there are carnivals with corn on the cob and Brigham bread (which is a huge scone with cinnamon sugar on it), rides, fishing ponds, snow cones, races and finally root beer floats to sip on while watching fireworks that evening. It is a festive day that I try never to miss!
My mom with some of her Grand kids at the carnival--all dressed in Red, White, and Blue.
Aunt Lori with her little shy guy--Sam----getting ready to watch the fireworks.
Uncle Dan and his son Wesley watching in awe of those big fireworks.
Grandma Carol gave all the grand kids glow sticks to play with. They had tons of fun whipping them around to see the cool light they cast off .
Cardon was in heaven having cousins close in age (Kayden and Jake) to hang with.
Happy 24th of July everyone!!!!
