Celebrating the 24th of July growing up.







Parley Pratt Giles reinacted the pioneer trail with other members of the church. He drove his car on the pioneer trail with a wooden ox on each side and wagon cover on the top.

Because of his red beard, they called him Porter Rockwell.









Do you recognize anyone in this picture?




















Dad and Mom dressed up for the Sons of the Utah Pioneer celebration.




















This is how I remember celebrating the 24th of July. We got dressed up so that we could walk 10 blocks in a parade.
