Festival Fun!

One of my favorite things to do during summertime is enjoy all of the festivals that happen around town. A couple of weeks ago we went to two in the same day. Erik went golfing and us girls (me, Claire, and Khloe) started our morning at The Gateway Mall where they held the "Chalk Art Festival". It is amazing how talented some people are. Drawing is at the very bottom of my list of abilities and so I am always fascinated at how good some people are at it. Claire and Khloe enjoyed looking at all the paintings, but I think their favorite part was the cookie we all shared before we left. Yum!

 

Later that evening, Erik and our nephew, Soren, joined us for the "Outdoor Festival". This is by far the coolest festival I have ever been too. They had so many attractions and activities and the best part was that they were all free! Soren had a blast sitting in the University of Utah's medical helicopter, going inside a S.W.A.T. van, and playing with the fireman's water hose.

Claire, on the other hand, enjoyed all of the girly attractions like touching a giant tortoise, going on a pony ride, visiting the petting zoo full of miniature buffalo, goats, and horses, and collecting as many stickers from the booths as possible. :) This festival is definitely going on my list of activities for next year. It was so much fun!
