Day 315

Sparklers

For those of you unfamiliar with Utah History, the 24th of July, 1847, Brigham Young and the Saints (the Mormon Pioneers) entered the Salt Lake Valley. So the holiday (complete with a big old day off work) is a pretty big deal. Lucky for us Fireworks vendors leave their stands up through the month of July...or as my friend Mark Saal calls the 4th through the 24th "Twenty-one days of perilous patriotism." So tonight I went to my brother's house and took pics of the celebration. This is Taylor dancing with her sparklers.
