The Snow Family: Pioneer Day

July is such a fun month (especially if you live in Utah)-- 2 holidays just a couple of weeks apart!

Our Pioneer Day weekend was a dream! It was so much fun to spend so much time together! Scott's mom came up, so we were able to see her quite a bit!

We started out the day over at the park by our house for the Pioneer Day Extravaganza. Scott said to me while we were there: "I'm going to start counting up how many times you're saying,

'This is SO cute!'" But for reals. It was the cutest thing--they had all sorts of pioneer games, a petting zoo, a farmer's market, a live bluegrass band! SO CUTE. Here's a pic of Ella checking out the goats. Okay, the goats didn't really phase her, she just loved looking at all of the kids.

We went home, made homemade ice cream, ran errands, met Scott's mom and step dad for fro-yo (because on holidays you can eat ice cream twice in one day, obviously), and then our little family went over to play at the park for a while.

This chick isn't ever quite sure how she feels about swinging...

This is one of my most favorite pictures of Ella. Ahhh, she is just the best thing ever!

Now that we have a baby, I take like 5 million pictures wherever I go.

My two darling loves.

My husband is practically a child at heart, so that night the three of us lit off some sparklers and threw some pop-its. Partay! It really was such a fun day.

The next day we went up to Salt Lake with Scott's mom and step dad because they had gotten us all tickets to the Days of '47 Rodeo. I was a little bit nervous to take Ella because she tends to freak out over loud noises (or not-so-loud noises), but she did so well!
