If July 24 is just another day to you, you're probably not from Utah or Idaho, and/or you may not have pioneer or Mormon heritage. But if you are, or do, then you surely know that July 24 is Pioneer Day.
I told you about my friend's Pioneer Day traditions
here; this year, we got to live them.
 |
| Hammering nails into logs conveniently provided by the recent freak storm that left many of us powerless for days. Not bitter. |
 |
| Sawing logs. It was SO hot, humid, and buggy out there, and the kids got whiny fast. It's good to know how pathetically they fare when the going gets tough. |
 |
| Threading a needle and sewing a button on. |
 |
| So proud! |
 |
| Shaking cream into butter...and let me tell you, that was some of the softest, most delicious butter I've ever tasted! |
 |
| Shaking cream and sugar into ice cream, handing off between partners. |
 |
| Toddlers make the cutest pioneers. |
 |
| Freshest soft serve this side of the Rockies! |
And of course it just wouldn't be Pioneer Day without
Brigham Young's Buttermilk Doughnuts! Yippy hi-yay!
