Pioneer Day Concert

Tomorrow we will celebrate Pioneer day- the day when the first group of Mormon pioneers entered the Valley in July 24, 1847. I love this holiday and all its festivities and fireworks!

Giovanna is turning eight in October. I am so excited for her baptism and to take her to the Women's general meeting as well as other beautiful events we can only take our kids when they are at least eight years old. But since Giovi is turning eight in just a few months I took her to watch the Pioneer's Day Concert at the Conference Center in Salt Lake.

We had a wonderful time together! Honestly, I thought she would think the whole thing was boring (sitting down for two hours, not talking, not playing, all the things kids loving doing), but she really enjoyed it. She asked questions, made comments, applauded, remembered names, and got really excited to see the prophet so close. When I asked her what was her favorite song, she said the very same one I had liked the most: You'll never walk alone. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

Giovi is becoming such a big girl, and last Saturday it really showed. She is loving, caring, and she makes me proud in every single way.
