All World Acres potluck and drum circle

2002, Vacations, , , ,

The next day, we got out of the tent and sat around for a few hours. Here is me, newly awake and already being baked by the sun.

Breakfast at All World Acres

Most of the day we just hung out with other campers and the kids of the people who own All World Acres. We played chess, cooked, had a bonfire, a potluck, a drum circle . . . and played with the cats.

We also played a fair amount of cards. I taught a girl how to play several kinds of solitaire and another game, and when things got boring I built a card house and put a ketchup bottle on top. It stayed up ’cause I’m just so good at that.

Camping at All World Acres

2002, Vacations, , , ,

On the day we were to camp, we stopped in Tampa to get some supplies at my mom’s and then we visited Meggie. We all went shopping and out to eat.

Visiting Meggie

We got to the campsite before dusk and managed to set up our tent. Here’s me inside it!

Fred also photographed me sitting in front of the tent, and the random dog ran into the picture too. (The dog belonged to the owners of the land.)

Happy birthday Lindsay!

2000, Gatherings, , , , , , , ,

We went to my parents’ house to visit my sister on her birthday. Here’s my sister Lindsay, me, and my dad, while she opened her presents.

Surprising Lindsay for her birthday

Fred and I gave Lindsay a card with a cute moon on it. She apparently liked it. (I hope.)
