We arrived in Utah on a Thursday night, stayed in Salt Lake City, then drove down to St. George on Friday. We all spent that night at my grandparents condo there, which meant we timed it just right to get to celebrate Pioneer Day.... Utah style! There weren't any big parades in St. George that morning, but my grandparents' stake had a really fun event. They served a yummy pancake breakfast, then had lots of games and activities for kids and grown-ups.
Cat's favorite was pulling the handcart. She pulled it solo, tandem, full of siblings, full of strangers, up the field, down the field, you name it. She probably would have made a pretty decent little pioneer.
Jack found a smaller cart to pull Eliza around in for a little while.
When Cat finally got tired of hauling around everyone small enough to fit in the handcart, she tried her hand at roping a steer.
Jack thought this was fun for a little while, too.
Until he figured out he could just sit on the steer instead.
Cat jumped right in for the tug-o-war, while Jack watched from the front row.
Yummy, refreshing popsicles on a hot desert day.
Eliza shared with Daddy.
What a fun way to spend a Saturday morning!
And the perfect kick-off to our stay in Utah.

The pic of Cat pulling the cart all by herself when no one else is even around says a lot about her.... and Jack just sitting on the steer instead of trying to rope it says a lot about him!
