This was our first time going to LEAF (Lake Eden Arts Festival). It is a three day extravaganza held here in Black Mountain. Usually, it is out of our budget but this time we scored free tickets. The after school program that I work for was preforming so we got hooked up. It was so much fun. Like Asheville on steroids. Picture hippies, artists, music, circus folk, fair food and beer. I love where we live because of the open-minded, liberal vibe. All are welcome, bring on the freaks, artists and carnies.
As another huge bonus, my great friend Kelly and her family were going to LEAF as well. They camped at the festival and we were able to hang out all weekend. It is always great to catch up with old friends.
The boys had so much fun and saw all of their friends. It was a big party.
Folks swimming in the lake, zip lines flying overhead, and a HUGE paper mache turtle swimming around.
There was no shortage of people on stilts
Watching some games
Costumes galore
Trying their hand at yoga
How cool is this? It was a jungle gym with ropes, scarves and swings.
Of course the boys found a naturalist that had a booth. It was complete with reptiles of all kinds
The corn snake was their favorite.
