24th of July Celebration

For those of you who are LDS, or who have lived in Utah, you know the significance of the 24th of July. It's the date that the Pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. Every year it is celebrated.It's a holiday in Utah. Here in Nevada we have our own celebration. This year my ward went to the Grastiet's house. They have a huge pond, with an Island in the middle. They built a huge tree house..(imagine Swiss Family Robinson) They have paddle boats, swings, slides..it's awesome. Here's a few pictures of Macen enjoying the night.

To start the night off, the primary kids showed us their pioneer spirit, and took a trek down the road. They sang, and laughed and talked. I'm pretty sure they were glad to not be "real" pioneers. They were very hot by the end of the walk and couldn't wait to jump in the pond!
