Pioneer Day Festivities
K, so I know Pioneer Day isn’t ’til next week. But I’m not going to be here, remember? I’m going to be having about as much fun as I can handle at girls’ camp. Luckily for me, Bountiful City was kind enough to oblige me with lots of Pioneer Day festivities the whole weekend before the …
