SCANDINAVIAN HERITAGE FESTIVAL


This is becoming a fun family tradition, if only the weather would cooperate! The Rudel's and Curtis's visited the Strong's in Ephraim this Memorial Day weekend. Three years ago we set up tents out front of Grandpa Bills and Grandma Ellen's home and had a blast, but the last two years have been cold and rainy, but we still managed to weather the storms.
We also combine Grandpa Bills birthday with our visits. That's always been a nice added bonus.
We start out with the parade in the morning. Grandma Ellen fixes lunch for us and then we go over to the festival and walk around to see all the creative booths and try out a few of the tasty foods. The kids go on a couple of rides and that is about the extent of our stay in Ephraim. Oh the most fun and the one thing the kids really look forward to is riding the ATV's. It wouldn't be Ephraim if we didn't take the kids to see the Elk Farm.



Hear are a couple of pictures from our adventure



The most fun part for the grandkids is the candy that they collect


Getting ready for the big ride!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA BILL
