A couple weekends ago, the kids and I went to the Wild Rice Festival. Because: free, close, and something to do on a Saturday while Sean's working! Bonus: we got to learn a bit about Native American culture.
This is what rice looks like when it's... uh... harvested? Maybe? I don't know, I never get to hear what people are saying when I'm also taking care of my kids.
Although they were trying to pay attention until the adults around crowded close, blocking their view. Silly grown-ups.
They got to sit in a tee-pee!
The tee-pee's tippee top!
They decorated their own tee-pee, too.
Standing by the tee-pee, holding their new creation.
Ta da!
They also made Dakota bracelets. They really impressed me by threading their own beads in the right color order.
Grey was fantastic, given there was really nothing there for him to do.
But he did enjoy the dancing! Who doesn't like some good tribal music now and again.
Definitely going back next year!
