We were pretty excited that we got to spend Independence Day at Independence Rock!!! That's the landmark where all the Pioneers knew if they made it here by July 4th, then they would be fine to make it to Salt Lake before the snows. The Martin Handcart Company didn't even leave Iowa until the end of July.
On the rock - I was sliding.........
Lafe and the kids went around the other side and climbed up to the top!
They had posted a flag for the 4th, which was really neat because it was gone when we drove by the next day. The kids are jumping?
Instead of fireworks, they had a fireside on the correct way to retire a flag - really neat. They had cut it up and did the ceremony for it, and then we burned the pieces. It was a really neat experience.
