Pioneer Day

July 24th. I love this holiday! It's a great reason to celebrate! We went to the pancake breakfast at Bowman's in Kaysville and actually got to meet Mr. Bowman who took our picture (numerous times!).
There was so much food, more than we could eat! Pancakes, sausage, ham, eggs, hashbrowns, cantaloupe, honeydew, juice, milk. It took forever to get Isaac to finish.
Later that day we went to save seats at the Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo. Oh man was it hot! We were saved by a nice family behind us who tipped their umbrella just right to give us some shade. The couple a few rows up helped, too, by spraying their water fan our way plenty of times.
Oh yes, don't forget the giant slushes that got us through the worst of it! (Sorry it's sideways. Someone forgot to turn the pictures right side up and now I don't know how to fix it.)
Jacob with cousins Grace and Liam. They are actually Mutton Bustin' experts, having entered that competition when they lived in Texas.

The rest of the Bean family. Henry, Katy, Clara and Dan. We don't get to see them nearly enough. We had so much fun with them!
(Another sideways picture. Duh.) Thanks, Grandpa Tom, for taking us to the rodeo! We loved the skydivers, the bull riding, the queen competition and the fireworks!
