I got this wonderful new Professional Embroidery machine which just fits in my tiny mobile studio. Now I have to find lots of great craft shows to sell stuff at. Custom embroidery will travel!
Sage and Dylan find lots of fun times with a roll of toilet paper.
Sage even decides to decorate Grandpa Dick
Dylan has lots of teeth now and quite a vocabulary too.
Herman is quite a performer and talented musician.
Dylan loved a tie-dyed blanket he found to sit on.
Dylan and Papa share a moment.
Herman gets all the kids up on stage to sing along and of course Dylan dances.
We thought about heading back across the street to our coach but the kids tell us we have to stay for the "fire tube". Since we had no idea what that was we agreed to stay. Here they are setting it up. Constructed out of scrap wood, it stands about 10 feet tall and is placed on top of a the fire which has been burning for some time creating a bed of hot coals.
Within a very short time the fire goes up through the tube and starts to burn out the openings in the top.
The final arm is lit by the creator of the tube "Sparky". Apparently he has built these many times but this was the first one with arms. It worked great. Hard to see in the pictures but there are designs carved in the main trunk. It was truly an awesome spectacle. Be sure to click on the pictures and make them big so you can get a good look.
Sage and friend Katelyn sit on Val's lap to view the fire tube. As you can see by the smiles everyone is enjoying it. Many of the musician's continued to play by the campfire which was fun.
Brian takes a picture with his cell phone.
As it continues to burn it eventually collapses. Here one of the arms falls off.
As the night sky becomes dark I catch two star gazers. (Katelyn and Sage)
A wonderful summer party . . . thanks Herman for including us. The music, food and fun will be remembered for a long time.
