HoLa Festival

Last weekend the family traveled into downtown Knoxville's newly renovated arts district for Hola Festival! While Scott and Megan danced to music, Owen, Aidan and I traveled the streets to all the booths featuring different countries and their customs they celebrate. Owen filled out a passport after talking with each representative, and we looked at all the displays they set out to show us about their heritage. It was a wonderful event and nice to experience such diversity and celebration. As a family we vote, for the the food from Honduras! Yummy. Second in line was the "genuine" tacos from Mexico. You don't even get that at the roadside stands in Mexico. Real. Scott and the kids enjoyed tamales, too.

Owen's upset about something. What is new?

I can see this celebration to become an annual event for out family. It was fun. We love the diversity of our new home. I was able to meet a co-worker of Scott who was traveling booth to booth trying a food from every country. Wow! That is a nice plan.
