Today is Pioneer Day... a state holiday for Utah.
It's the day we celebrate our state's pioneer heritage and the settling of the Salt Lake Valley. So I should have taken a picture of something Pioneer Day-esque. Like Pearl glued to the T.V. watching the Days of '47 parade. Or a picture of one of my ancestors. Or a modern-day pioneer of sorts. But I didn't. Mainly because we didn't do anything to make our pioneer ancestors proud and because I don't have any pictures or know any pioneer ancestor stories.
But I'm guessing that the pioneers liked ice cream. And that if Nielsen's had been there to greet them in 1847, I'm fairly certain they'd have gotten a delicious custard to celebrate Pioneer Day just like Pearl and I did tonight.
