The Wake Up The Earth Festival is the local Spring festival, put on by the local professional hippies (they host a great toddler drum circle!). It's full of family-friendly activities. Frances and I tried out the...poles, let's go with that, that were erected in a tent shape for...dancing, let's go with that, too.
And we played with a jump rope.
Frances hasn't quite figured out the point of jump ropes, yet.
And Frances tried out the hula hopes.
By the time we got back to the poles, we learned they were meant to be decorated, sort of a modern day, free-form May Pole. Frances obliged.
There were also great bands and lots of good eats. I thought it was great fun, but Spring festivals with May Poles aren't quite Mark's thing ("I'll persuade him someday!" said the ever-hopeful wife), and Frances was having a very off day (she walked around the festival moaning "Birthday" which, it turns out, means "I want cake" and she ended up sleeping around 14 out of 24 hours and eating lots, so growth spurt?), so after a bit, this mama gave up and let everyone come home. But, Happy Spring to you!
