PIONEER DAY:
It was OUR TURN to set the flags out again - even though we roll out of bed at 6 a.m. on a summer morning, I really love doing it. If you notice the picture (left), our ward is really on the ball as all the flags are color coded as there are three routes that need to be done - works really well. Each route is done within 30 minutes, give or take. The kids are amazing, as always and it's always fun to be around happy, energetic people!
Tonight, firecrackers are going off all over the neighborhood because it's Pioneer Day! July 24th is set aside each year to remember the pioneers who crossed the plains to settle the west. Many of our ancestors were 'those brave ones' who sacrificed so much so we could have what we have today!

I really like this flag thing! It would probably be too hard for my ward because it is so spread out down in Cali. How do they stand up? Is there a flag stand of something???
We pound 'rebar' into the ground with a special instrument and then the tube slips right over the top of it. It pulls out pretty easy when the time comes. Then they made cylinders to store the rebar in with a carrying handle! Who ever did it put some real thinking into it - then they color coded all the flags according to the route. Pretty slick! Thanks for asking!
The flags looks so good laied out like that
