Pow Wow Dads
We spent Sunday afternoon at Julyamsh, the largest outdoor pow wow in the nation. The Native American gathering of tribal dancers, drummers, and horsemen, is held every year in Post Falls, Idaho.
It's quite spectacular as the dancers take the field, but what impressed me the most that afternoon was this group of dads who brought their children out with them during the ceremonies. I love to see one generation passing ancient traditions on to the next.

It is a fantasic display of families. My husband and I went last year. It was wonderful.
We watched as they paraded on to the grounds... from a 3 year old boy to the 70+ year old's. What a wonderful feeling it gave us to watched. Had to miss it this year. But next year I will go again. I can not recommend it enough.
Also Phil, hope you enjoyed my Roslyn stories as much as I enjoy telling them. Thanks for asking.
. . . and I spent last weekend looking for something to do other than mow the lawn and watch TV. Dang. If only there were someway to see into the future and see your post BEFORE the weekend! Your blog certainly shows that there is never a reason to say "there's nothing to do around here". Keep the posts coming. We'll just have to be a week or two behind.

P.S. I visited "Tall Trees" today. You have quite the talent when it comes to capturing the "feeling" of the places and events you've been to.
