Cherokee Festival of Native Peoples

We decided to go to the Cherokee Festival of Native Peoples this year. Yes that is Aaron holding an alligator!! It was a great experience, fun and educational.



The boys in front of the Museum:
Native Peoples dancing demonstration:
So these five men climbed this giant pole, then four of them tied ropes to their feet and swung all the way down.  Here is a youtube video of them doing it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTLhiYeNLs0
All at the top:
Swinging down:
It was pretty cool:
The boys watching with our friend Val and her kids:
So you'd think it would be young guys seeking a thrill, but no it was mostly these cute old men. 
Corbin surviving the hot and humid cooling off playing in some water:

Then we watched an alligator wrestler:
He was crazy close to that alligator:
Tickling the gators chin:
Cool but crazy:
Ya crazy:
Then this guy played with a cobra:
Did I say crazy?!:
Tayven got to hold the gator too:

It was a wonderful experience. They boys loved it and we learned a lot.
