Yesterday was another day of the Folk Dance Festival. I went to the Junior High (the dancer's dressing rooms were there) from 3-5 to watch the door. There was a street festival set up on Main Street from 5:30-ish (?). We walked around and looked at all the booths, got free water, lollipops, cotton candy, and popcorn. The parade started at 6:30. Each country came through and did a dance. The parade lasted 30-40 minutes. After that, we were hungry, and not wanting to pay street festival prices for street festival quality food, we went to Jack in the Box.
We got back from Jack in the Box and bought tickets to see UP at the cheap theaters at 9:00. The fun center (just opened) across the street from our apartment was giving out free hot dogs, so we went and ate hot dogs, even though we were really full from Jack in the Box. But they were free! If only there had been free funnel cakes... The closest we got were free samples of little fried donuts. Yum.
While we waited for the movie, we walked around Main Street some more and helped clean up a little bit. It had been pretty stormy looking all evening. There were dark clouds and lots of wind, and around 8:00, it finally started raining. But it never really rained, just a sprinkling here and there. But around 8:00, it rained again, and then, sure enough, it hailed! Apparently in Rexburg you are never free from the threat of hail.
We went to the movie (which was as sentimental as Melissa said it was) and when that got out, they were still having their street dance (It went to 11:00). We walked around the street dance, and then walked down to the sno cone shack and bought a small sno cone for $1.00. We made our way back to our apartment and sat on our front step and ate our sno cone before we went inside and called it a day.
Sorry no pictures. It was one of those perfectly pleasant summer nights - just thought I'd share - so you want to come visit us sometime because you're reading all about how fun Rexburg really is. (ha!)
Today is free taco day at Jack in the Box - you can print out a coupon for 2 free tacos. ($1.00 value)
Anyways, the end.
