Choctaw Labor Day Festival

Halito! (Choctaw for hello) Sorry there are no pictures for this post maybe next week. But it is something that TJ and I are really excited about. I am an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Every year there is a huge festival held over the Labor Day weekend in Tushka Homma. It is a great weekend filled with anything and everything you can imagine. From the traditional dances, sings, story telling, and arts and crafts to a 5k run, golf tournament and assorted other activities. There are usually some big name concerts as well. We are really looking forward to seeing Casting Crowns there this year. People come from all over to go to the festival every year. TJ and I are just blessed that we live so close that we can just drive down rather than try to find a hotel or something in South Eastern Oklahoma where the towns are tiny and the rooms fill up fast! On top of that, my family is coming to stay for a few days. My mom and dad and my older brother are all coming! I am so excited. My dad and brother haven't got to see our new house yet and Mom hasn't been there since we started doing all of the work on the inside. We have a full weekend planned and it ought to be a blast! I am so looking forward to having a nice long weekend filled with family and family friendly fun. Might have some pictures for you next week.
