As a child growing up in Utah I thought the 4th of July was just a weak warmup for the 24th which got all the top billing, decorations, celebrations, and hoopla. It was as big as Christmas in Bountiful, Utah! One year I got to be on a float for the parade that made it's way down Main St. I was one of about 20 little primary kids dressed up like a little brown crickets in a wheat field, complete with clear plastic wings and little tight brown aviator hats with antenna on our heads. Looming over us in the air was a humongous seagull with a 25 foot wing span. It's a wonder we were not all in therapy for the next ten years. Actually, it's a fun memory. I loved the fireworks (much bigger than on the 4th), and the pioneer costumes, and all the stories. Thanks for the memory trigger and a Happy Pioneer Day one and all!mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13161039287023379893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9268894.post-1122392869352238592005-07-26T09:47:00.000-06:002005-07-26T09:47:00.000-06:00Yeah...I didn't exactly FORGET about the 10K and t...Yeah...I didn't exactly FORGET about the 10K and the marathon...that's just not my style of celebration...torture, yes...celebration/fun, no...we'll leave that to you crazy, in-shape people...Carrie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01626726647377135540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9268894.post-1122352780643342912005-07-25T22:39:00.000-06:002005-07-25T22:39:00.000-06:00I love Pioneer day.

Our ward commemorates the day with a huge, sweaty service project (sans pioneer garb)... Wish I could have celebrated with you!Suzie Petuniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13387520367654400467noreply@blogger.com
