Pioneer Day

We had a pretty fun and eventful Pioneer Day/Week this year.... here's what we did:

Monday evening we drove down to Orem and our good friends Darrell and Kaela took us 4-wheeling in Saratoga Springs! 

We drove up to the top of the mountains east of Saratoga and had this awesome view!

Tuesday night we went to the Days of 47 Rodeo!  

Wednesday (Pioneer Day) we headed down to Mapleton to spend the holiday with my siblings and their families.  We went down there last year too!  I actually really like Mapleton's 24th of July (and of course it's always fun to hang out with my family :).

After the parade we went to the park for a carnival.  We had some yummy lunch and had fun watching the nieces and nephew play carnival games.  We hung out at my brother and sister's houses while the kids napped, then some of us went and watched the fireworks.  

We had a great view from an empty culdesac (no houses built yet) and it was probably the best firework show i've seen.  I had read somewhere that Mapleton's fireworks were supposed to top the Stadium of Fire show... and I was not disappointed!  They were pretty impressive!
