Pioneer Day

So, I find it odd that July 24th is a holiday here in Utah.

But, I'm not complaining.

I had both school AND work off.

It was definitely needed.

Sarah and I totally vegged. I slept in, watched a movie, did some DIY home remedies, and painted my nails.

Oh, and I went with Des to the baseball field batting cages.

I have not hit a baseball in YEARS. I'm talking at LEAST 10 years, so I was pretty rusty.

But it was so much fun.

Not going to lie, my arms are completely dead today and I have a pretty sweet blister on my left thumb.

 After an ice cream run for some graham canyon, we traveled on the scooter up to the base of the Y to watch the fireworks throughout Utah Valley. We even got to see some lightning. 

Utah residents don't hold back when it comes to celebrating Pioneer Day...

So, thank you pioneers for trekking across the plains.
Thank you Utah for the holiday and some much needed rest.

And, thank you Des for teaching me how to properly swing a bat all over again.

And for your patience.
And for not laughing...

...too much.

I'll stick with skating, thank you very much.

Happy Pioneer Day :)
