Pioneer Day?

I agree with Heather, Pioneer day is such a fake holiday, but in any case I LOVE IT!!!! It was so nice to have a break from work, Bobby even got payed all day for us to play!

It all started the night before - Pioneer Eve.
Total last minute we called up our friends, Stewart and Melissa, and headed to the hot springs! It was really fun to go with other people and don't worry....


...we remembered our flashlights this time! Needless to say we were able to enjoy the hike back!

The drive back down the canyon was quite an adventure. Any of you that know Bobby at all know that he is a sucker for anything that moves, lives, and breathes. So as we are driving along we found several critters in the middle of the road that we just HAD to turn around and investigate. Our findings include several dead snakes one of which was a rattle snake, and several alive snakes, one of which was also a rattle snake, and a very very dead road kill squirrel. As soon as I yell out the car "do NOT pick it up" Bobby reaches down and grabs the alive rattle snake's head, of course! Here is the proof...

The brown thing in his mouth is a stick used to pry it open for an optimal kodak moment.


Now for Pioneer DAY...
We slept in later than we have in a long time, which felt great! Then we were off to Big O Tires to buy our tubes to float the Provo River! Stewart and Melissa came with and it was a blast! It was a first for all of us and man is that water FREEZING! My butt was so numb and tingly by the end, but it was well worth it.

After a quick shower we picked up Melissa and Stewart and went to the amazing Cafe Rio for dinner! I can never get enough of that place! We decided to end the perfect day with the dollar theater! It just doesn't get much better than this, it was a great Pioneer Day!
