Pioneer Day

I love that Utah gets to celebrations in July.. the rest of the nation only gets to play half as much as us! : )
My parent's stake.. well, it's our stake currently, had a huge party the 21st.  It was fun dressing up with the girls.

They made such cute lil Pioneer children

We spent the weekend of the 24th in Castle Dale and attended Orangville Days. So much fun!

It all started with a very early morning for me-- but I ran my very first 5k.  The one i did last year did not count since i was carrying Tianna or running with her for most of it.  So I count this as my first.  My time was 31:16 min.  Not very fast, but the fact that I can actually run that far without stopping is a huge feat for me.  I use to die after running 1/2 a mile.  I was surprised that I actually took 3rd place in my age category and won myself a Gatorade! Suhweet!

 Children Games (free, might i add!)

On a side note from all the fun we had-- I am SO grateful for all the sacrifice and difficulties the Pioneers faced so that we could have so much.  I'm so glad we celebrate and honor them each and every July.
