Pioneer Day!

Last week I took my kids to This Is The Place State Park.  After our trip I was telling my mom about how interesting the park was and how fun it was to learn about the history.  To my surprise I have family connections to the park.  My grandpa and my great uncle both worked on the monument.

 I just love the old car in this picture.   My understanding is they did a re-enactment at the time of the dedication of the monument. 

I hope all of you enjoy your pioneer holiday!

I hope you take a moment to watch the video that is posted to the right.  It puts life into perspective.
