Super SHOW '14

*

As you likely know (especially if you've read the heavily promoted 'OCF' entry from 7/13) we host an annual party in our spacious (and uneven) backyard every second week-end in July on the occasion of the Oregon Country Fair.
CAM even had his mug featured on their Sunday Facebook post. (here)
These affairs just keep getting better and this year's was no different.
Below are but a few since I'm never able to take pictures of everything going on- there's just too much and I'm so caught up in the moment, I don't have the chance.
Such a whirlwind and then, poof!
All gone and quiet again until next summer.
Pasture becomes yard
Getting Ready
Separating the brush pile 
A surprise arrives

Ed oversees costume improvement
We had to provide our own miracle this year
A strange hanging basket appears on the porch
My new costume attracts wildlife





1st arrivals settle in with DoodleArt
Fancy duds c/o Ohio
Tent Mahal 
Niece & BIL surprised us
Readying for Friday's Fair

V at the kids' tent
With #1 All Time Preggo Sarah
(Soon-to-be) Daddy Dan & Aunt Hayley
Prince sought out Greenman for several photo ops
This fella was rightly proud of his creation
I have no idea what they are- and neither did they 
Get it? First time w/ costume and he nailed it
Recycle-BULL!



New art across the Long Tom
Year 3 and fascinating

One of The Rev's Brides
Running into everyone at the cul de sac

My Grammy made this dress for me a loooong time ago; it's now on a 3rd generation (RiRi wore it, too.)

Games with clothesline as net

Getting your ass beat at Euchre is tiring
Placement Presentation Ceremony

Bridge Builders
Behold, the Bramble Island Bridge!

And bubbles!
With trumpet fanfare, even!
Sunday morning thunderstorm- craziness

We had NO IDEA Celeste & Scott were driving from OH; it was the best surprise!
The mystery box that arrived mid-week turned into this beaut with no help from me whatsoever!
Hot game of Apples to Apples
Zabby Dog's new outfit a bit oversized
At Fair- tubes make cool sounds
Chix Boy losing a complicated game of Skip-Bo
Bloodies, Buddy- a Saturday tradition
Creek kids made a deep pool, just in time for high temps

German pals brought a themed craft that satisfied all the sweet-tooths
Everyone helped with the fancy bridge project, generously gifted by Rachael & Rachel
Including the grounds crew
Edith finds many creek critters
Riley hennas us
Patsy Cline made us a pit stop moving from SoCal to PDX
So did her brother, Pancake
...and, FIRE
