Festival of Nations

On Saturday, we took the kids to the Festival of Nations down at Tower Grove Park. This was Greg and my fourth year to go and we still love going despite the huge crowd of people and the ridiculous walk from the car to the Festival. If you have never been, it's definitely something to experience. They have about 50 food vendors and there is food from anywhere imaginable. Just to name a few, you can try: Indian, Polish, Greek, Chinese, Turkish, Afghan, Bosnian, etc. We tried a chicken with veggie on pita from the Bosnian group. It was very tasty. Leah especially liked the Baklava from there as did I. Both of the kids loved watching the dancers and people walking around. There were also some men taking bales of hay and launching them over their shoulders over a very high pole. So interesting to watch!
We checked out some vendors selling crafts, etc. and bought Evan a wooden Cobra; which the tail was broken in about 5 minutes because he got it caught in the wheel of the stroller as I was pushing. We stayed for about 3 hours and then headed back towards the car and decided to check out the ducks at the pond. It was a beautiful day outside and I am glad the kids enjoyed the festival as much as we did.
