PIONEERS AND PAGEANTS
Our community hosted a huge 24th of July Celebration--dinner, kid's handcart trek, a carnival and two nights of a pageant celebrating the Utah pioneers and early LDS Church History. Our entire family signed on to participate in the pageant, but only Lainey, Halle, and Courtnee stuck it out. It was wonderful and Lainey immediately started talking about participating next year. By the last night, Lainey had put herself in several scenes that she wasn't originally a part of and she probably would have taken over the starring role if it hadn't been written for a 19 year-old boy. Courtnee was a seagull, but wasn't feeling great and so we didn't get pictures of her, but she really enjoyed getting back into a bit of dancing.
The Turner family came for dinner and to see the pageant and we had a fun time celebrating our pioneer heritage. For the first time in the last few years I did not make my family sit through the annual reading of John Thomas Lazenby's personal history, but I read it to myself and am still fascinated by him, his sense of humor, and his life experiences!
