Fillmore Art's Festival




We spent the weekend at the Fillmore Art's Festival. It was so much fun. We got to see all the booths that were set up with different crafts, foods, demonstrations (black-smith, pottery making, etc.). Emma's favorite thing was the bouncy area and the kids stations (chalk coloring, painting, puzzle making, train riding, etc.). I loved the roses that Andrey bought for me (aw...shucks). They were made out of wood. Amazing, I know- and they were even scented. We got to pet the oxen (and I think one of them had a cold...it was disgusting. Ellie wasn't sure what to think). We had dancing and story telling from a Navajoan (sp?) lady-she was beautiful and her dancing was beautiful. There was Willie the Clown who Emma followed around the park all day. We bought cute headbands, jewelery, clothes, and had fun watching the bird show. Ben brought hawks, eagles, and our favorite-the parrot. She played Sleeping beauty for us and would talk to all of us. We ate great food and had a fun night decorating and making a cake for Robyn's 22nd birthday. We then opened presents and then left. My aunt wanted us to take their stray kitten with us but we aren't ready to take care of another cat (poor Tess ), so we got a cute picture of her/him instead (sorry Wendy. Maybe next time).
