Happy 24th of July Everyone!
Here (for whatever reason) we celebrate the 24th on the following Saturday. The town of St Anthony goes all out and we took advantage. One of the many fun things planned for the Pioneer Day celebration is a parade. Besides the great floats to see they throw LOTS of candy. The girls LOVED it!
Mark and Abby waiting for the Parade to start!
The horses were definitely a family fav!
Not only did they throw out TONS of candy, some floats even threw otterpops!
You can definitely tell this is an lds religious holiday. Most of the floats were submitted by local wards and lots of them displayed the temple, pioneers, and/or missionaries.
The local missionaries were even the ones passing out the free chocolate milk!
Oh, Only in Utah and Idaho! LOVE IT!!!!
We then spent the rest of the day out at my Grandparents house eating, floating the river, and eating some more!
Even though this day has turned into a somewhat lighthearted and fun holiday. It's always great to be reminded of the Pioneers and what they accomplished. I am always so deeply touched and truly amazed when I think about the strength and great faith those early saints (including some relatives of mine) had.
