While Elizabeth and Margaret were at Girl Scount Camp. Daniel, Izzy, Sam, and I went to Full Belly Farm for the Hoes Down Festival. It was basically a hippie festival, but pretty much centered around kids. There were workshops and what not on organic farming and other similar things, but we mostly just played with the kids. They did pot painting, Tibetan flag painting, crawled all over and through a straw maze, rode a zip line, picked pop corn, learned how to play drums, and went through a grass maze as well. It was loads of fun. We are all planning on going next year.

Margaret and I went to Girl Scout Camp this weekend for the Mother-Daughter camp out. We slept in this tent cabin with Sophie and Karla Maxfield. Most of Margaret’s troop went along, but we made up most of the camp out. We had a great time hiking to the Fairy Grove (aka Fern Canyon, a redwood grove) where the girls built houses for fairies. Margaret built a hotel. she spent a lot of time making the “Clover Cafe” portion of the hotel. She also enjoyed climbing the tree, making smores, singing songs, and exploring the tepees. We also spent a whole afternoon at the craft shack, making birdfeeders, necklaces, dolls and the big pink hat.
