Lentils are a big deal in this area. So much so that the city of Pullman (about 10 minutes away from Moscow) dedicates an entire week to the Lentil Festival. Apparently it is attended by the whole valley. We decided we couldn't miss it.
The highlight of the festival was the Lentil Parade, featuring Tase T. Lentil. We caught up with Tase T. right after the parade for a picture. 
After our photo-op with Tase T., we sampled Lentil Brownies, which really are pretty good. (After looking at the recipe, I guess you can pretty much hide anything in something with that much chocolate.)
It was a fun day spent with family, friends, and a big brown bean.

Hey, I just wanted to say hi. I saw Brad's mom last night at the temple while doing baptisms with the youth. I wasn't very polite...i forgot to introduse myself and she kinda looked at me like she knew me but didn't know how. So anyways she said you guys were doing good and that miss Alaina is starting to walk. Thats is awesome. I love it that Daegan can walk now. They are both just getting so big. I hope things are going well. Keep in touch!
