Village 2013: Day 22

Day 22 out of 24, oh my!!! As it is always important to keep homesteaders on their toes we began our day learning a new song. Today we sang: the Coffee song, the Tin Soldier, the Song of the Soul, Sneeze on Me (like Lean on Me, adapted by Lula), the Llama song, the Gibberish song, and Bohemian Rhapsody. We are pretty much awesome at singing. Next we moved onto the plan of the day. This is somewhat to give everyone an idea of what is in store, it is also to teach homesteaders proper grammar and spelling. Now that we are at day 22, I think I can say that we have succeeded in unlearning the homesteaders everything their language arts teachers taught them. The morning beZerk had homesteaders working diligently (and not so diligently) on their mini fair attractions and signage. The afternoon brought swimming, more mini fair work, map work, the BIG string finally came down, a nice mid week campfire show, and the DJs on the radio managed to blow the Village amp... so if you have one to get rid of, we could really use it! (I'm not joking here)

Today's campfire was organized by homesteader Harley. He did an wonderful job!!! We enjoyed simultaneous lectures, a dance by Lula and Fallon, ninja tug of war, and ding.

Lilly and Nick simultaneously speak to us about star fish digestion and leprechauns on Mars, and George Washington's little known hobby as a dancer!

Cedric and Pasley give speeches about the reason for roller skates to do back flips in Kentucky illegally, and self cannibalistic capes. "...once the cape is in the universes stomach..."
