Pioneer Day with the Rockwoods

We got up early to celebrate Pioneer Day so that the girls could run the mile Speedy Spaniard race and they did AWESOME!  Meg ran her mile in 7:38 and was the 8th girl overall, and 4th in her age group.  Brinn ran an 8:49 and was 6th in her age group.  They beat their last years' times by over a minute!  It was fun to watch!  Meg even ran with a possibly broken toe and still did awesome.

Heading to the starting line.

Meg's awesome finish!

Brinn's awesome finish!





After the race, Brinn won $10 in the raffle and then we watched the parade.  Eric really liked the police motorcycles at the beginning and then just sat and watched quietly until he fell asleep about half-way through.  My favorite part was the 2,000 Stripling Warriors.  A bunch of the stakes in south Utah county had the scouts/young men march as stripling warriors.  They were dressed up and each had a big stick.  It was really powerful seeing so many of the youth marching together.  It made me think about Eric growing up and going on a mission.  I think the church is in good hands.
