Pioneer Day

The 24th of July is the day that the Mormon Pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. It is a day that is celebrated in our church as a day of celebration that the pioneers had reached a place where they could live free without persecution.
I remember as a young girl visiting Vegas in the summer from time to time and my Unlce's stake having a celebration. Last night my little family and I headed over to where the celebration was going on. It was so much bigger than what I remember. There were jumping things, food booths, games, and a stage for skits and singing and performing. I also didn't remember there ever being fireworks, but there were.
It was a nice evening with the girls and the firework show was awesome!!!!
