Pioneer Day!

 I look forward to going to Laketown to celebrate Pioneer Day! I am so appreciative of my Grandma Kae and all that she has done to establish roots and heritage for our family. I love her!!!

 The Otter Pop Kids!

It is not summer unless your getting sugared up with these babies!

 I love this little parade! It is my absolute favorite! Though small the kids still get plenty of candy! My favorite, wish I had a picture, is the WWII car driven my Howard Lamborn. What a neat guy! Missed seeing my Grandpa, Albert Ivan Weston, riding by his side!

Grandpa Williamson's is the place to be, relaxing under the maple tree! It is just a given that this is where we will join to watch the parade with whomever wants to join. Our crew was small this year! :)

I just can't help the tears welling up in my eyes or the tightness in my chest as I think of the hardships of the pioneers and all they did to sacrifice to get to and settle this beautiful place! So glad for this holiday, a chance for me to refocus my murmuring and be grateful for all that I have and give gratitude to those who made it possible!
