Today we went to the grand daddy of all local festivals- the Santa-
Cala-
Gon. It celebrates Independence's role as the start of the three main routes west. Santa Fe, California and Oregon. It involves over 10 big old craft tents and blocks and blocks of other booths. And yummy food sold by area churches, boy scouts, high school
bands and other community groups. Food that smells amazing.
We gave the boys $10 each to buy some of that yummy
food and arranged to meet them a short while later. The boys were oh so typical 12 year old boys. Jackson spent his at the how-fast-do you pitch booth. And Daniel spent his at the booth where you make the cool sand in a bottle. And then they shared a big old basket of fried chip potatoes. How funny. Jackson said he must have
eaten 200 crispy fried potatoes. By the way Jackson pitched 52 miles per hour.
We parked at the big Mormon center with the spiral sea shell and then took the shuttle. Check out Jack's new Chicago Bear
tshirt purchased on Michigan Avenue.
