Day 5 of the Springville Folkfest

We got to sleep in this morning since we had no plans till the afternoon. Since Val on of the host mom's had other plans she dropped off Daniel and Luis and her car since mine wasn't big enough for all of us. Then we headed to Nickel City to play Laser Tag. It was so much fun. I won the first round and Javi won the second. I didn't play the second round so I could take pictures since none of them had played before and I wanted them to remember it. The pictures are the best because it is dark and smokey.

Since we played to games of laser tag we had to let another group go before we could play again since we took all the guns, so this is them waiting around.

Then it was hurry home so they could take a shower and get ready so we could go over to Carol and Nolan's house for a potluck dinner. We had Sloppy Joe's, salads and Amanda and Malinda Made a cake. We ate and the sung to us and talked and laughed. We was a great get together.

I love this picture of Javier and Antonio

Durning the week Paco had asked me when I thought that we all might be there for the performance and I told him Friday night. But he wouldn't tell me why, he said it was a secret and I would find out then. So before on of there songs they dedicated it to us and had us all stand up and I was right in front of the stage because Luis had asked me to take pictures with his camera. It was so sweet. Later that night when I was talking to a friend she said that it was the sweetest thing and she had tear come to her eyes. I just have to say that it moved me too, and that, that had made this week all worth it.

Then they had an after party for the host families and performers so we stayed and danced the night away.

Then they kicked us all out and we came home, ate and then I heard Clay and Miguel playing air hockey so I went to watch and this is what I found. I could not stop laughing.

It had been a great day!
