Happy Pioneers Day!

When my wife and I first moved to Utah a couple of years ago we were planning on going out for a nice dinner for our anniversary. Little did we know that there would be parades and fireworks galore in our honor.

As it turns out, the fireworks and celebrations were actually for something called Pioneer Day. If you aren’t from Utah, you probably have no idea what this is. If you are from Utah, you probably wonder why this is bigger than the 4th and New Year’s Eve combined. Anyways, this is a Utah holiday celebrating the permanent settlement of Salt Lake City and people love to celebrate that in a big way around here. It actually is quite fun but my dog Winston isn’t a huge fan of the explosions above our house. Here are a couple of fireworks photos from my driveway.
