On July 24th we wondered what should we do to celebrate Pioneer Day. While visiting with Auntie Keli Anne she pulled out a box of bonnets, pioneer dresses and aprons. The girls had a great time dressing up as pioneers, they thought it was fun but still did not have a total understanding of what a pioneer was. We decided to take a little trip to Salt Lake - first we hiked up Ensign Peak to look over the valley and then we went on a tour of Temple Square. It was a full day, the girls seemed to learn a lot and gained a great understanding or at least an appreciation. I'm grateful for for my pioneer heritage and for the trials that they endured for us to live in this valley. I also think of the Canadian pioneers and how they were able to settle on the prairies, I don't think we will totally know the hardships they endured.
