Markets and Birthdays


Yesterday Aaron was gone all day finishing a rocking chair that he has been building for a co-worker. Poppie was spending the day with some family friends. The kids and I needed something to do. We saw a commercial on the tv about an Indian Market that was being held here in Denver this weekend. Campbell said she would love to go, so we went.


When we arrived, we found that it was basically a craft fair for Native American Indians from around the country to sell their products. We walked through the market and saw a bunch of really neat things. Campbell was looking for a unique yet inexpensive birthday gift for her friend back in Greenville. We found a few really cute items like barretts and carved animals. She finally settled on a cute little doll for her. To make it even better the dolls were $3 each or 2 for $5. I let her get two so she could have a doll too. I do spoil my kids sometimes.


While we were there we got to see and Indian dance. The dancers were all dressed in their tribal costumes. Campbell loved it. We also got to see an owl and an eagle up close. They were alived and were tethered to their stands. We've seen these at the zoo but not that close. Caleb slept through the entire trip at the market.


After the market we headed over to a friend's house for their little boy's birthday party. He turned seven yesterday. He is the cutest little kid. We just did cake and ice cream and pizza at their house. The kids just had a blast running around the house playing with each other. There were about ten kids there and only two of them were girls. Campbell and Arianna held their own with the boys though. I liked seeing Campbell play something besides dolls and ballet. Caleb was in heaven with all the boys around. He didn't care that he was the youngest boy by five years.
