All World Acres potluck and drum circle

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.

Okay and here’s when we went to sing karaoke with my dad! One is just me singing “Forgiven” by Alanis, two are me singing with Dad, and one is Fred singing “Hotel California.”

Swimming and Sawamura

Fred and I decided to take a swim in my community swimming pool. Fred had bought me a cool bikini and I was trying it out. Fred documented it rather well I’d say.

At Sawamura’s Japanese restaurant, we ate loads of stuff, including the stuff that was on fire in this picture.
