VANcation 2008: Oregon Country Fair 7/10-7/13

One of the ultimate highlights of our year is the Oregon Country Fair. On the surface, it looks like 3 days of crowds, music, food and vendors, but on the inside it is so so much more. The fair embodies a spirit that I strive to carry with me in my daily life. It is a posture of acceptance, love, and goodwill, and it is blatant and contagious. This year's Fair was no exception. We got to share it with 3 of our closest friends: Danielle and her daughter Eleanor, and Saamanta.

It was so much fun camping and fair-ing it up with you all. We were at the park the other day and there was a family that we saw at the fair there. The little boy was hot in his Batman costume, so he asked his dad if he could take it off. He played the rest of the day at the park naked. It reminded me of the fair mentality...and of Kaden. lol

Thanks for including us this year, we really enjoyed it!
