Live oak videos

A little taste of Live Oak music festival

Live Oak music festival

Last weekend we went to Live Oak music festival. We are true "Oakies", fully embracing the "Peace, Love and Dirt" life style. This  family festival begins on Thursday afternoon when true Oakies line up in the parking lot to await entry to the camping early the next day.




Bixby entertained himself with a connect four game. Observing the patterns he made gives us an idea of the organisational process of a 2 year old mind



Father and daughter enjoy the music


Bix decorated the motor home




There was even a place to plug in your "stuff".

and brush your teeth.

 

Sunday morning breakfast with the Cache Valley Drifters is always a favorite.



A baby woodpecker being fed by his mom stole the show.


Plenty of shade under the oaks.

And a time to sleep.



                                                                     and enjoy a shower

                                              
                                           All ages enjoyed games, juggling, hula hoops....



and dancing...



and squirt guns.


Plenty of good food including Bixby's favorite chocolate ice cream and naan bread.

music, music, music....

Last weekend we attended a garden tour and concert at the San Luis Obispo Botanical Gardens. Tom Corbett and Phil Salazar were playing with Hawkeye Herman. It was an evening filled with great blues.

creative play

I love watching Bixby's creative play. He has created many scenes around the garden in pots, on stumps, with plants and animals and the way he interacts with them is magical. Bixby has not watched any tv and I think this contributes to his imaginative play.







A cup of tea

Today after the beach Bixby and I enjoyed a cup of tea together. (I did find out later that his apple tea has soy in it. oooops Sorry Kelly. I may have added to his rash but it was cute and made him feel grown up.




Then he put bird seed in the feeder and sat with Grandad to wait for the birds.





Nana... turn off that camera !!!!

And on to the lagoon.


                                                        We paddled and thrw rocks.






                                        Then we built sand castles
