Springville World Folkfest - Day 5

Friday, July 31

We got to sleep in again today. Thank heaven for small miracles. They did have a performance at the park at noon, but another small miracle, it was at a park only blocks from my house. The girls were getting worried that we were not leaving a half hour early, but I kept telling them this performance was very close to my house. I don't think they understood. The Koreans and Belgiums were the only two groups to perform. That meant that Alisha had to be there also. Amanda decided to bring her 2 Mexicans and come watch. Then afterwards we all went up Provo Canyon and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. None of our guests had ever had an experience like this before and they all enjoyed it. Then off on a short walk to Bridal Veil Falls because the Belgiums nor Mexicans had been their yet. We spent quite awhile there. The highlight of the afternoon was when Porter (3 years old) decides to pull his pants down and pee right there in the pond at the bottom of the falls. Talk about humiliating. Amanda must have turned about 5 shades of red.

Amanda and Baby R who loved the water

Malinda and Baby A who did not like the water, but isn't this picture precious


Hye Jin and Little Miss L (Hye Jin took a real liking to L and they got to be good buddies)


I sure hope he is not drinking that (and to think that some little boys pee in it:))


Malinda, Annalynne and David (Belgiums) and Little K (she is crying because she wants to get in the water)


Hye Ji, Se Hyun, Amanda, Baby R, Little L, Tyler, Hye Jin



They had to be at the Arts Park at 6:45 and Amanda's Mexicans had to be there at 7:00 so I returned the favor (to Amanda) and took them all down so she could have a blissfully longer evening at home. Most countries had different dances every night and that made it worth coming down to watch. It would have been boring with 5 nights of the same thing. Some wore the same costumes all week, but most changed them up.
Again, after the performances, the girls fell asleep in the car on the way home, but were wide awake once we got home, and HUNGRY! I think tonight is when they ate ice cream, which was weird, as they ate hardly any sweets all week.
