Festivals!

A few weeks ago Luke went on a 3 day horse-pack trip up to the high Uintah Mountains with my dad, niece, and a few others.  Whilst he was gone the girlies and I tried to stay busy. 

First, we hit up the Scottish Festival in Payson.
 I have discovered that by the time you have your arm around your 2 kids, it's quite difficult to reach your arm out far enough for a quality pic.  At least between both pictures you get both halves of their pretty faces! :D
 It was such a busy day. We went to the Scott's parade, then back to Santaquin to a bridal shower, then back to Payson to the park to watch the Highland games etc, and THEN.........

Home to rest for a bit.  In fact, a bit too long.  By the time we got out to Mona (6 miles south of our house) to the Lavender Day's Festival, most of it was over.

 But we still had time to see some of the animals
 And the best part-- a full scale Jousting Tourney.  It was just like at Medieval Times but without our own half a chicken to eat!
 We even got to stand out in some lavender fields.
 and BARELY barely got the very last pony ride they offered
 I wonder if Luke's pack trip included Moose-back riding?
Next year I will know to spend the whole day at Lavender Fest.  There were so many cool things we did not get to do.
