Farmington Storytelling Festival

On Saturday we took the kids to a storytelling festival in farmington. It was really fun. They had different rooms where you could go to hear the storytellers tell their stories. They also had a craft station where you could make your own book. They had some yummy Stephen's hot cocoa and cookies for refreshments. Even Michael got to hear some of the stories before he fell asleep. One of the storytellers was a guy from our ward who serves with Dave in the Sunday School Presidency, Karl Behling. That was fun to see someone we knew there. Kera was a little unsure of his outfit as you can see from the picture. You'd think she'd understand what a mountain man costume looks like since my dad is very into mountain man stuff and has his own buckskin outfit and racoon cap that he wears. I guess she hasn't seen him in it enough to be sure.

After the festival we went to lunch at Iggie's sports grill. Dave heard from some coworkers that the food wasn't that great, but we liked it a lot! They really cater to the kids there. All the kids get free drinks with free refills. We only got them one kids meal to share since Kera eats almost nothing, especially when there was yummy breadsticks there to eat. They also gave both kids HUGE sundaes after the meal. Of course Dave and I had to help them with theirs, but I was surprised, Jacob ate almost all of his by himself. We were joking that this was Jacob's favorite new place to eat because they give you endless rootbeer, hamburgers, and even a sunday for dessert. They also played one of his favorite songs. What more could a boy ask for? BTW the song he likes was the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Dani California" because it says all the states in it. He calls it the "State Song".

We had a fun family Saturday. Here's some pictures from the festival. I should have taken a picture of their huge sundaes. Maybe next time. And yes there will be a next time if Jacob has anything to say about it.
