My dads wife Ana is from El Salvador, and part of the latin community here in Salt Lake so she had a booth at the Living Traditions. Its pretty much a big culture fest where you can watch dances from different countries, and there are arts and craft booths where you can watch people making things and you can even buy some of the stuff. The booth Ana was in was part of the food. They have people making authentic food from different countries. She was making a whole bunch of stuff I never even heard of but it was pretty good. They had an Indian booth where they were making fry bread SOOOOO good!! but it was the longest line they had there so we didnt get any.
In the Arts and crafts section we found a family making Navajo weaved baskets, for a set of 5 baskets it was 3000 dollars!!!! I should be learning how to make these things so I can make that kind of money!!!
We bought a little hand made bracelet that says Marley. Its spelled wrong but its cute and we liked it. We stayed there for a few hours and watched the Salvadorian dancers. They were really entertaining. My dad played with Marlee while he was with us but most of the time she was carried around in the snuggie thing we borrowed from Teresa. I loved it! We are going to look for one now. And we finally found the missing pieces to our stroller so I can actually use it now! YAAY!
We are not too good at taking pictures when we go out to these things. Mostly because we dont want to carry the camera around. We would rather have fun than worry about taking pictures. Well okay David would rather not worry about taking pictures and Im sick of not being in any so were on a picture strike lol.
My little brother Zack and Viena were there for part of the day and before this we visited with my other brother Nick and his fiance Lizzie. All my brothers are so funny to watch with Marlee. Austin is finally starting to talk to her, but everyone else doesnt know what to do so they just look at her and shake her arms a little. They will learn eventually!
