Well, my most busiest(and totally awesome) few days in years, was the weekend of April 20th.
because of......
The LIFE Is Good Unschooling Conference!!!!
Omg, it was so totally awesome. We filled up the Salbasgeon Suites Hotel for 3 whole days. There were presentations, funshops, dancing, a talent show, pajama parties, weekend-long assassin games, people piles in the stairwells, and so much more.
You must watch this awesome video of some of the goings-on during the conference:
The talent show was fantastic, it seems everyone had something to share on the stage. Singing, dancing, drumming, guitar playing, contortionism, sign singing, hula-hooping, jokes, stick juggling, gymnastics, comedy acts, bird calls, and more that I can't remember right now. Marty AKA The Coordinator of Cool did a fantastic job running it.
Sophie and I did our duet dance:
Two girls, Saren and Harper, did some amazing hula-hooping. They were up there for a long time too:
I was on a teen panel along with Marty, Beka, Neebin, Elizabeth, Aidan, Qacei, Conor, and someone else... and I feel really bad for forgetting his name. If anybody knows, please let me know.
Too bad he's not in this picture, but this is Elizabeth speaking, and I'm behind her:
Oh, and that's Neebin there with the black makeup, she had just come from a face-painting funshop. =)
On the last night of the conference, there was a Barefoot Boogie, and I got a few shots of the dancing craziness:
I met so many incredible people, and I hope to see them all again sometime! And hopefully I'll see a few of the teens at Not Back To School Camp!
A huge thank you to Mary AKA the Conference Diva http://zenmommasgarden.blogspot.com/ for organizing the whole thing. <3
