Heritage Day

Monday was Heritage Day in Alberta- probably more commonly known as "the holiday in August"! Well, to celebrate we went to the Southern Alberta Ethnic Association event. There were display and craft booths from 20 or so ethnicities. Our favorite were the food booths, though. We ate Vietnamese wontons and fresh homemade perogies from the Polish Association. We should/could have been more adventuresome as there was Afghan, Sudanese and Filipino food as well as 12 other nationalities. For dessert we ate Keke (Tongan donuts) and mango lemonade from the Polynesian hut. It was a great day.
All that eating was followed by a long bike ride- had to burn it all off some how!

Ooh! Yum yum! I could seriously go for some keke right about now. Don't know what it tastes like, but it sure looks delicious! Those are great pictures of the boys!- No crazy faces, or tongues sticking out...they're all grown up (tear!)

I highly recommend Sudanese. We tried it a few weeks ago at our farmers market and it was delicious! (Wade is making fun of me saying I am so "urban chic", but we seriously did eat it, and it seriously was delicious!)
