Village 2013: Day 4

Someone forgot to tell parents to take care of homesteaders over the fourth of July holiday. We had many a call and email this morning sending regrets that half of our community would be staying home because they were sunburned, sick, tired.... blah blah blah... or out of town on vacation! Jeez!

With our very small group and our very hot day we decided to focus mostly on fun. In that we were quite successful! We learned and sang Lean on Me, Jingle Bells, and It's Illegal in Fez. During werk berzerk many homesteaders attended a community college course on fence building. Others worked on house plans, cardboard models, peep repairs, lumber orders, and job applications. After this we went for an extended swim time.

Our afternoon was taken up by more currency discussion, some peep intros, and a campfire show! The peeps present agreed to make their fish fingers out of paper with fish shaped stamps marking them. The peeps kept talking about the Federal Mint but the FED said that the town clerk would be responsible for hiring and paying the mint workers. Looks like we need to start talking about government.

Our campfire show included making a fire (you know, to help us cool down), sitting captively, and many games, skits, and songs.
