The Heber Valley Pow Wow

Mid June we were given tickets from Wes' Aunt to go to the Heber Valley Pow Wow. We had never gone to a Pow Wow as a family so we decided to go on a new adventure. We were able to see several Native American dances. The first one we saw was done by the elders. We also got to see children dancing.


There was a lot of drumming, singing and excellent costumes.


We had a fun time shopping and the girls had a great time choosing their own little treasures.

Lydia chose some handmade, Native American earrings.


We found these bird eggs in the parking lot. The momma bird was fluttering all about.


Lydia bought this fox tail for me for my birthday. It is so soft, but now I'm not so sure what to do with it. Perhaps it will have to make it's way onto a costume some day. Cat tries to stay as far away as possible from it.


Adelle picked up a leather and fur purse which is also so soft. I bought Violet a wooden snake that can bend and curve.


Wes really enjoyed trying the fried bread with cinnamon and sugar. It was super yummy! We also got to enjoy the beauty of the Heber Valley!
