Family reunions and Pioneer Day things

For those not living in Utah, Pioneer Day (July 24th) celebrates the day that the Mormon pioneers entered the Great Salt Lake Valley and Brigham Young declared "This is the right place. Drive on!" The slogan has been shortened to "This is the place" and we light off fireworks the entire month of July because of it. Fireworks companies love Utah in July.

Mr. Perfect's parents had a luncheon on Friday with some of Dad M's brothers and sisters, and then Most Happy Girl's family had a camp-over family reunion at a park in Taylorsville. Yes, you read that correctly. We camped out at a park in Taylorsville City. It was pretty cool. The park is called T. John Labrum Park, and it's own by several LDS stakes in the area, incluing Little Big Sis and Painter Extraordinaire's. Favorite Blood Brother and his family came in from Colorado. Game Boy came with us (and even camped out, too). Psycho Exercise Sis's family came for the activities Friday night, but were leaving town the next morning on a long-planned family trip.

The funnest game was the iPod singing game. You choose a song on your iPod, put in your earbuds so that only you can hear the music, and you sing along to it. You might think you know all the lyrics, but it's pretty funny when you don't remember them. Best song of the night? I'm a Lumberjack.

Enjoy the pictures.
