The week at RU Fun

Well, a pile of Unschooly families came by plane, car and boat to Saltspring Island this past week to play in the sun... here's a quick review of THE BEST WEEK EVER in pictures.

Raft builders:


Floating the RU Fun/ Swedish Flag/ Cedar Beach Resort raft:


Hamish the non-conformist:


The white shirted "team":


Jon and Ferg


Wieners:


Fisherman Dan: Dan has since informed me that he was not fishing but rather was holding the pole for someone else... Pole-holder Dan:


MJ with two targets of many a kidnapping plot:


Conor and Madeline rescue a wayward inner tube:


Effie giving James a tattoo:


Chief cook/ bottle washer/ salmon de-boner:


Millions of shrimpies on the barbie:


Unschoolers and schedules don't quite mesh - but we had loads of scheduled funshops nonetheless. Rachel's sandcastle building funshop was strangely given a four hour time slot and we had fun making her stay out in the hot sun and the stinky wet sand for the full amount of time:


Some fruits of the tie-dye funshop:


Emma, Beth and Emma's big beer:


Unschooly campfire sing-a-longs include guitars, keyboards, electric bass and upright bass:


The Wahoo Winklers fish with their Shrek fishing pole:


Effie and I given (a modest version of) the James Fish Eye treatment:


Aaaaaaaaahhh...

THE BEST WEEK EVER for sure! Good thing my family is in those pictures so they can prove (sort of) that I was there too. :o)

Love the photos. Wish we could have been there. Next year for sure! (You're doing it again, right?!?)

Linda - unofficial word on the street is that we wouldn't want those passports of yours to go to waste.
