to celebrate utah's pioneer holiday gordon's cousin annie had a bbq. i knew the food would be amazing. we had korean sandwiches, a variety of salads, dips, cookies, and for dessert we each had our own shavy jones snow cone! ("don't touch my buried treasure" is what my puka shell necklace wearing brother-in-law trevor said to jodi when she asked him for a taste. buried treasure is ice cream at the bottom of the snow cone. not something else.) sadly gordon was still backpacking with the scouts so he missed out.
on monday we got up and cooked breakfast (which is such a rarity these days!) and enjoyed the delicious buttermilk syrup i bought at the farmers market.
that night we asked our neighbors, which also just so happen to be gordon's brother and his wife, if they wanted to come and light off some free fireworks gordon got from a friend. they did. lucky for all of us, matt didn't blow his face off, and gordon and him both still have all of their fingers. it was a good time.
thanks pioneers for sacrificing so much so we can live in this beautiful state and enjoy all it has to offer!
