Earth Wellness Festival

One of Jen's friends was performing at the "Earth Wellness Festival" in Park City so we decided to check it out and make a day out of it. We had lunch at our favorite local restaurant, Good Thymes. The kids always enjoy eating at this place, as they have the BEST giveaway for kids to keep them entertained (instead of crayons and paper menus).

Outside the restaurant, there is a big open area for people to perform - no performances today which means there were lots of things for kids to play on.

First there were Olympic bobsleds to climb....

Then there were lots of dogs to meet...

Then there were sculptures to climb...

Jen's friend wasn't performing until ~3pm, so we tried to NOT get to the festival super early. Why you may ask? Well, what do you picture when you hear an "Earth Wellness Festival" is going on? We pictured hippies and lots of people that don't believe in wearing deodorant.

When we arrived it turned out to be lots of information booths with people selling their earth friendly goods. There was a stage area for performers. I was impressed they even had things to keep kids entertained. Zach loved spending some time on the rock climbing wall...

Next we hit up the hippie music bus. An old school bus had been converted into a room with lots of drums. The "driver" lead us in our own musical exploration. The kids liked pounding as hard as they could on the drum. Logan decided to leave the bus first....we just followed him out :)

We finished up looking at all the booths, and headed to the stage area. Now THIS was a bit more like what we were expecting. Hippie hula hoopers. Yes - they called themselves professional hula hoopers....and those weren't costumes they were wearing....that was their everyday attire.



Finally Jen's friend was up. They were doing a Zumba demonstration. Zach got friendly with all the ladies....he hung out with them before their performance, even went through stretching exercises with them!

Zach even told us he was going to go and perform with Jen's friend. We were all for it...we wanted to catch it on camera. But alas, he chickened out....


It was almost 4pm and Zach was on the verge of a melt down....no nap, So we stayed a bit longer and then decided to head home, where Zach fell asleep about 5 minutes into the 45 minute drive home.

We enjoyed our day in Park City!
