Day 4

Today we focused on fiber art - carding, spinning & fingerknitting raw wool!  Friday we'll dye it & do some needle felting...

Ben, Ezra & Jasper negotiating in the Tinker Lab

I still say the poems in this book as I'm knitting....I need all the help I can get!

Ezra helped me to hang a shelf

Jasper did really well knitting with these enormous needles!  I need them because I am 1. blind and 2. knitting impaired

Zach using the drop spindle to make yarn! We found it much easier to do in pairs & twist it, rather than actually drop & spin

Henri made his own 'spray on shoes' today!

Josie & Allana cooling off in the mud

Apparently we only have Hobbit children here at Countryside :0) Those hairy feet are the tell-tale sign....

Bath, anyone??

Miss Abbie in New Zealand....

Attempting to herd sheep - can hardly see them over by the tree on the right

Swimming in a glacier lake!  Brr!

Going up a mountain to ride a luge back down!  Ahh!

Luge track

Went camping last weekend & made dinner here :0)

We all miss her a big bunch - but SO delighted that she has this opportunity!
