Pioneer Day!

July 24th in Utah is like a second 4th of July, it's Pioneer Day, a state holiday and in some ways it is bigger than the 4th of July. Joe had the day off and so did my parents and we decided to spend the day outdoors away from crowds. We took the boys up to Bridal Vail falls that is up in the canyons and went for a nice little hike. Joe and Papa took them up to the top of the falls, they thought it was the coolest thing. After that we had a little picinic and they got to throw rocks in a little river, we spent an hour doing that and they loved it. Later that night after their naps we went swimming and had a really good BBQ. (Joe is getting better every year with his grilling skills! Man was is good!) When it got dark we went across the street in an empty parking lot and lit some fireworks for the boys. I do not know who had more fun, Jaxson and Bryce or Joe and my dad. But all in all we had such a fun day.

The boys' haircuts look cute on your previous post! I always think that I am so glad that I just have to cut bangs and not the whole head with girls - I can't even imagine trying to cut a little boy's hair! looks like you had fun on the 24th!
