Pioneer Day Twenty Oh Eight

If you live in Utah you generally get July 24th off work to celebrate Pioneer Day. We started the day off kind of sketchy...no real plans. Nothing makes me into a cranky carrie like people sittin' around going "what do you wanna do? I don't know, what do you wanna do?...". After I got kind of short on patience we finally had some plans!

We drove up the canyon and went to a place called Hidden Falls. It was really fun.
The kids had a blast walking around in the stream and Cameron loved being on his daddy's back!


My guys!


Cameron couldn't handle all the excitement, he was asleep within 5 minutes of being packed around...


See the falls behind us?


I can see the writing on the wall, what do you think happens next?


Yep, he turns into an Egyptian....a soaking wet Egyptian...


After the falls we drove up Guardsman Pass and freaked out a little because everybody stood too close to the edge. You seriously feel like you are on top of the world!


We then drove into Park City, to the City Park, and ate lunch. We kicked around the soccer ball and played frisbee. Here's a cute pic of Cameron and his Grandma! Awww, precious!


On a last minute whim, we went up to the Olympic Park and watched the skiiers go off the ski jumps into the pool below. I think Parker was the most impressed. He would yell and scream each time another person landed in the pool. He also yelled and screamed when he tried climbing a rock retaining wall and scraped his shin....but those were of the painful variety of screams.



We got home, rested a bit, and went to the neighbor's house to light fireworks. Cameron was so embarrassed to be seen with us...


He did really good with fireworks, no cries at all! Carson and Parker used to SCREAM in fear when they were Cameron's age and would hear fireworks...here's hoping Cameron isn't deaf.




It ended up being a great day, not bad for having zero plans when we woke up! My mom found the most amazing rock when we were at Hidden Falls. I'll make sure she puts a picture of it on her blog. Let's just say nature MUST have a sense of humor! Stay tuned for THAT!
