A meeting was called in the morning to discuss how we might do things differently regarding string usage and acre choosing. Apparently yesterday everyone just followed the leader into the woods (much like lemmings)and played cat's cradle with 800 feet of string. It was not their intention to settle in the forest. Today 5 people wanted to settle in the woods, 9 wanted to settle in the field and the rest were undecided. After much discussion and further confusion, 3.5 people wanted to settle in the woods, 13 wanted to settle the field and 5 were undecided. There were arguments about the woods being both drier and wetter. Ultimately we set off once again to claim our land. In the midst of more tangled strings leaders arose who ran back and forth and barked orders and GOT THIS JOB DONE!!!!! Also, it rained around and through this time as is evidenced by the picture of Katie snuggling up to the cob oven to seek some shelter!
Since we were already SO wet, we decided to have a nice, cold swim. Fortunately when we left the pond the sun came out, this allowed us to have lunch outside. Yay!! The rain stayed away long enough for us to be tricked into having town meeting outside. Then it came back. Although meeting was wet and interrupted, we still agreed on a town name. In the running this summer were: - Frankfart
- Peepsville
- Pepsiville
- Peepeeville
- Walmart
- Villageoftheplacewhereitgotoverpopulated.......
- Frankenfart
- Peepfart
- Frankeenie
- Brainfart
- Brainfart
- Fart Knox
- Fez
- Scruffnburry
- Um
- Galacticville
- Bikini Bottom
- Leechfield
- NH Peepville
The top three were Fez, Um and Scruffnburry. Fez won!! The rain stopped again.... so back to the acre we went. This time to STAKE OUR CLAIM!!! After signing another contract, the mad land rush was on and homesteaders dashed about to claim the perfect bit of Fez for themselves. Primitive shelters were built, strings were tangled, more rain fell and the beginnings of a community sprung up- just like that!
After corvee a bit of "Is it raining" and bat and moth were enjoyed by all .
