The Windy City

No, still haven't been to Chicago. Spanish Fork, where I live, has a wind farm, yes, with several huge power generating windmills. Should be a clue to anyone thinking of moving here - if you don't like everything blown off your porch, move somewhere else. It's not quite as bad where I live, because we are not right by the canyon. And the good news is that now every year they have a fun "Windfest" to celebrate our wind. It is held at the little man-made reservoir I mentioned before. Last year was the first one and it was fun, this year the boys and I went to the 2nd Annual Windfest and it was better, so hopefully goes the pattern of getting bigger, better and funner every year. It probably would have been even better this year if Russ had been there, because then we could have done the cool zipline and the paddle surfing. But we did have a good day, and most of it for free - always a plus.

Hand made kites, great music, Utah trikes, watching jet skiing Kiteman on the water, playground, shave ice, and on and on. What more could you ask for on a late summer Saturday?
