We went to our church's 24th of July party. We did a pioneer walk with our “wagons”, ate a good dinner, and Sean was even on the winning team of a potato peeling contest. Be sure to check out our flickr section for the pictures of our wagon with Khai.

For those of you that don’t know, the 24th of July is, it is our religion’s “Pioneer Day”, which marks the pioneer’s arrival in the Salt Lake Valley: where we remember the sacrifice that the pioneers made in their long trek across the country.

“Let us remember with gratitude and reverent respect those who have gone before us, who paid so dear a price in laying the foundation for that which we enjoy this day.” (Gordon B. Hinkley)
