Pioneer Day

Hello everyone! As some of you may know, pioneer day is coming up! Pioneer day is a Utah holiday (on July 24) in which we celebrate the first set of pioneers who made it to Salt Lake valley. Well I thought it would be fun if we spent the month celebrating the 'olden days'. Not only pioneers, but Native Americans, Mountain Men, and people living in the 1800s. Every day, I will be posting an 'Olden Day' (that is what my sisters call it) craft, so keep your eye out for them! Let me know if you know any good crafts! I would love to hear your ideas!
