In Utah, we celebrate the 24th of July as "Utah's birthday" or more so about when the pioneer's came into Utah. I did have some of my ancestors travel with the pioneers, but many others came to Utah in different ways. I have thought a lot this week about them, and the struggles they had in rooting their lives here in Utah. I love where we live. I love waking up and be surrounded by mountains. I love being able to drive 20 minutes for a hike in the fall leaves. I love taking pictures here in the spring. I love it here, and I am so grateful for my heritage here.
On the 4th of July my mom had these wonderful outfits made for the kids. I don't think they could be any cuter! M, thank you again for your works of art. They are so wonderful, and it was so appropriate to be thinking about peace on the 4th of July. Really, if anyone wants the best tie dye ever go to www.englishphoto.typepad.com/peacefulones
I hope everyone has a wonderful July. I hope we all can keeping praying for a generation of peace!
