Super Angie....I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay...

Last night we took a much needed break from un-packing and working around the house. We attended the Wild Outdoors Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Stihl Timbersports Series---in other words, a lumberjack comp!!!!

The weather was iffy--very windy--so, there was not a lot of people there, which was fine with us. Of course there were tons of venders there, and the boys REALLY enjoyed looking at the campers, RVs, and motorhomes. I have never been in one before, so it was a shocker to see how nice and spacious they are. Recliners, leather couches, TVs, fireplaces, showers, full kitchens with islands and even staircases leading to other levels of the camper. AMAZING!!!

The kids also enjoyed seeing an Owl, Falcon and Golden Eagle, plus some skulls of different animals. Tanith squealed in delight at the Owl...not sure if the Owl liked that or not. Dallin and I watched some native American dancing (we want to take the kids to a Pow Wow sometime). 

ESPN 2 was there filming four shows that will aire in November. We saw part of the long running comp. Girls were competing by running across floating logs. Brrrr... we all felt bad when they fell in the freezing water. 

The highlight of the whole night though was when the kids got to try some archery. They both got at least one arrow into the deer target. Brennan seemed to have some natural talent for the sport. Both boys raved about it all evening and had to call Grandma and brag. 

Despite the unseasonably cold weather (actually in the 50s!!!), the evening was awesome.

I am glad the evening went so well. It was fun to hear the excitement coming from Dallin and Brennan. I thought Brennan would run out of breathing air as he told me about his adventure. Lots of Fun....

Bren was so cool when the archery instructor said "you shot him in the cheek" and replied "I was aiming for his eye"
