Hello Lovelies!

How is everyone doing? I’m throwing today’s post back to our event filled weekend!

It was Utah’s Birthday Celebration on the 24th. The 24th of July is the day that the pioneers settled Utah, so we call it Pioneer Day. There are always parades and rodeos during the 24th weekend. It is one of my all time favorite celebrations!

Our weekend was kicked off by throwing my lifelong best friend a bridal shower. We have been next door neighbors and best friends our entire lives. It was so fun to catch up with her along with my other childhood friends in honor of her special day.

As soon as the bridal shower was over, the “Lemon clan” (my family) raced up to the Holden church ball fields to play co-ed softball. It was a blast playing against our neighbors and friends. Plus we won, so that made it more fun;)

After the softball games the outdoor movie started. The outdoor movie is such a cute tradition. The entire town comes to the church park to watch a movie on a huge blow up screen. Kody, Ellie and I enjoyed snuggling up in blankets watching Wreck it Ralph.

The following morning is when the real festivities started. It was time for the parade and the Holden town breakfast! My family decorated a “Cowboys and Indian” float. Ellie and Remmie (Ellie's Cousin) dressed up as Indians, while Trackan and Benson (Ellie's Cousins) dressed up as Cowboys. They all looked so adorable! After the parade we went and ate a yummy breakfast. I had the famous homemade scones which were delicious! We then watched Ellie's cousins participate in the bottle rocket contest, foot races and the annual Holden Town Homemade Ice Cream Contest.

The Holden festivities ended, so we headed for Salt Lake City to watch the Days of 47 Rodeo. We had front row seats and had a blast watching the bull riders and barrel racers. Ellie loved every second of the rodeo and would jump and kick every time she saw a horse run bye. 

As you can see, our weekend was extremely busy but so fun! I love spending time with my family in my hometown. Definitely a weekend for the record books.
