Summer Fest!

About two weeks ago Bountiful City held their annual Summer Fest with food, crafts, music, and dancing from countires around the world. These people come from all over the world to little Bountiful just for this festival and our hosted in people's homes. While watching the news one morning I was reminded that is was starting and seeing that Quinn and I have never benn and I really didn't feel like cooking that night we decided to check it out. The day was hot but we loaded up Emma and the stroller and headed out. This also fell on the day before the olympics were to begin and we arrived just in time for the open ceremony where they have all the counties line up and march in with their flag and in full costume. They all looked so beautiful and we were excited to see how our country was going to represented. We think they were dressed for square dancing or clogging we didn't stay late enough to see.

We had dinner from the Colombian stand - chicken/beef empanadas and grilled corn-on-the-cob. Then we hit the Navajo booth for a piece of flat bread smoothered with cinnomon honey butter. It was all really good. We walked around and looked at all the booths and then stayed to watch the first two countries dance, Costa Rica and Greece.
