Handcart Days in Bountiful

In younger days, this was an event we took the children to see, along with the parade which happens the evening before.

I was lucky enough to have Darien and Marius with me this time as we explored the various options at the Bountiful City Park.

My favorite parts were the actual pioneer activities which included carding wool and watching it be spun into yarn, the Indian flute demonstration by Nino Reyos who performed in the 2002 Olympic torch ceremonies, and the double man saw trial (completed expertly by the boys).

I think the boys like the ponies. However, there was a fiddler there who was letting the kids take a try at playing the fiddle. Both boys gave it a whirl. It was delightful.

When we were done, we were dehydrated, but had a good time.
