Green man festival

Hello Loyal Followers!

I've really been slacking at updating my blog the past couple of months. So here are two posts updating us to the present time. At the end of the summer we went to The Green Man music festival in Brecon Beacon National Park in Wales. It's a folk-rock music festival set in a river valley in the middle of a national forest. It-was-awesome!

Warning - lots of pictures!

We made it!
 You park your car and then walk all of your stuff to your campsite

Our amazing tent - we have never had a tent that was waterproof before and this one was. We were so thankful it was since it rained every day. Wales = always rainy!
Our set up, sleeping in one area, hanging out it the other

a man and his tent

first day- clean boots

They had bar tents set up everywhere






 There was also amazing food all over the festival

The bee's hive were you could plug in your ipod and listen to music

This is how you charged your phone, awesome!

All the rain meant - mud, mud and more mud

Rain boots were a must for most people, except this guy

"What an amazing festival" says Kit

We had such a fun time, it was a very relaxed festival full of music, family and fun. It was the perfectly beautiful music vacation.
