Pioneer Day

Today we celebrated Pioneer Day (celebrating the arrival of the Mormon Pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley in 1847) by attending the "Days of '47" Parade in downtown Salt Lake City.  This was Alexis' first parade and she absolutely loved it.  She was cheering, clapping and dancing the whole two hours.  She had a front row seat with her cousins:

 
 


Be prepared for picture overload . . .

The parade had all of the essentials.  Marching bands:


Pioneers:


Fun floats:


Law enforcement:


Horses:


Princesses:


College rivalry (BYU vs. Utah):


And my favorite, a float and dancers celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Polynesian Cultural Center:
