Valley of the Moon Fiddle Camp!

 So continuing our tales from summer 2010... one of the last things we did before heading back to Korea was head to VOM. Now.... fiddle camp really can't be expressed in photos, so here's a MONTAGE VIDEO!
But here are some highlights anyway. Teddy sang Korean songs at the Ceildh in front of about 200 people. He was great!

Sasha lost her top front tooth! This was the 3rd lost tooth at camp this year BTW. I thought that warranted a jig written about teeth but that's just me...

Ted picked out his very own costume for the grand banquet. It was part Indiana Jones, part Crocodile Hunter.

The kids band played a contra dance for the entire camp and Sasha got her own mike!

Hard at work:

And at the end of camp, Sasha played in the final concert for the first time. Last year she attended camp but just watched the concert. I was so proud of her!

Here's all of us getting sound checked for the big show. I love it when Alasdair talks into his fiddle to get our attention!

This is the last year for the old dining hall, it's being torn down and a new log lodge is being built to replace it. The new building is gorgeous, much bigger, and will be a much better fit for everyone at camp.

There are a lot of nostalgic feelings for the old building however and on the final morning we found that some of the instructors who have been coming to VOM since they were like 9 years old had decided to sleep in the dining hall. Breakfast just went right on around them!

So it was another wonderful, wacky, and super fun year at VOM. We'll be going again this summer and we can't wait!
