Trip to Music Camp

Last week we went up to Sisters, Oregon for our second year at Booher Family Music Camp. This time Melissa stayed home to take care of the the garden and the animals (especially Tizzy). It was kind of strange going without her. We took Jonathan's friend Trevor A. with us also, so there were still five of us.
We left very early Saturday morning and stayed over night near Grants Pass. We had a chance to go swimming in the Rogue River and to pick wild blackerries. We arrived at camp around 3 pm Sunday afternoon and got set up and checked in. Then a busy week full of activies began. I took fiddle classes everyday, every night there was a concert, jamming or dancing. During free time I played games, went on hay rides, talked to people or sometimes helped in the kitchen. I even did some crazy things this year like .. . go on a motorcycle ride. It was not something I ever would have thught I'd do. But it was pretty fun, not something I'd want to do often though :). I had more fun this year than last year. Everything was more familiar, I knew more people, and got to know more people then last year.
Here are few pictures from the week.
