Oh the Adventures!

My, oh My! We are home safe and soundly from our first big adventure. All good stories start at the beginning and that my friends is where I shall start.

Our first big festival was Mountain Stomp, a great little family festival with amazing music, beautiful people and peaceful surroundings. Up about an hour out of Corvallis is a little town called Tidewater. And in that town lies 'Prindel Creek Farms', an oasis to young and old hippies alike. We set up out booth with our friends the Hudoskos, in front of their bus 'Big Papa'. It was a great experience. We made some great friends and made enough skrilla to support our family. What more could a girl ask for? Nothing. Sadly as we were leaving or rather attempting to leave, the bus wasn't ready to leave yet. So there we sat for 3 days trying and trying and trying to get the old girl to take us down to Oregon Country Fair. During these 3 days I sprained my ankle, learned about waterfalls, and finally understood 'ask and you shall receive'. So there the bus sat in the loveliest field not moving anywhere, so we hopped onto Big Papa and off to fair we went.

We camped at QUIET CAMP! And I have to write it like that because one cannot just say QUIET CAMP! one must scream QUIET CAMP!. So we camped at QUIET CAMP! with about 50 of our nearest and dearest friends and family. It was amazing. Parker played with NIAYH on Saturday night and he was great. The land owners were awesome, and they were so impressed with the amount of people we brought out to their camp. They want our group to through a little festival there possibly next year. After fair we went back to the bus and after 2 days we decided the best thing was to call the tow truck. BUT! The bus is now fixed and ready to go out to the next adventure.

Next festival we are going out to is called Faerieworlds Festival. I totally lucked out and got a great booth spot. I have a really good feeling about this one... I can't wait to tell you all about it.

Love you all. Remember, ask and you shall receive. Because even when your cup feels empty, there is someone waiting to fill it.
