Pioneer Day 2014

Pioneer day is always a fun day to relax and we usually invite neighbors and friends to bring their fireworks to add to ours for the Sidewalk of Fire.  This year we had even more people than ever. The grands came, Charlie, Mary Ellen and Brandon, the Prices and some of their cousins, the Zellers, even Bro. Beckstrand from next door come for a bit.  We shot off fireworks late into the night, enjoyed all kinds of yummy s'more creations around the fire pit and chatted.  

Independence Day 2014

This was the first year in a long time that we didn't go to view the Thanksgiving Point fireworks on the 4th of July.  Since I had had my appendix out less than a week before and Charlie and Mary Ellen were baby sitting Bridger we decided to simplify this year's celebration.  It was a relaxing, fun day.  The kids played in the pool in the afternoon.  

In the evening we had a bbq at Charlie's house and played silly games on the grass.  

How could I pass up the opportunity to photograph this cute little guy!

After it got dark we watched the fireworks going up all around Alpine and shot off a few of our own.
