Pioneer Day

We were going to be brave and head downtown to the parade this year but we got a last min invite to Aunt Jackie's for hot dogs and slip-n-slide that evening and decided Kate couldn't do both in one day. Truthfully, we were grateful for an excuse not to get up at 7 am and stand in the heat trying to convince a 14 mo old that she was having fun. We had such a great time with family that evening it was double confirmation that we made the right choice! Here are some pictures of our night.

Kate was so funny to watch with the Police Dog statue next door. She timidly went up to it and patted it several times. Once she figured out it wasn't real she was hugging and kissing it and giggling so hard. I wish I had better photography skills and I might have captured some of the love on film but this was as close as I got.

I love that we get the extra Holiday here in Utah! It was a perfect day!
