Moab

On a whim, after our last house concert, we decided that we loved the band 3 Penny Acre so much that we wanted to follow them to the desert, to the Moab Folk Festival, to hear more of their beautiful music!  So, we packed up the Scamp for one last trip before winter, and left Castle Rock early on a Friday morning.  We knew it would be snowing, and despite the promises I had made my worrying mother that we wouldn't go if it snowed...we plowed on through.

Snowy roads do not bother me or scare me.  I drove on pure ice for 7 straight months at a time when I lived in Alaska.  BUT, I'd never driven the Scamp in the snow, so that was of course a different matter.  I was SO, so pleased to find that the Scamp had actually no bearing at all on my ability to safely navigate us over the continental divide in a snowstorm.  And look what was waiting for us on the other end.....

Bluegrass at the Fair

Our second festival of the season came just one week after Meadowgrass, and was an event we've never been to.  We hadn't pulled anything out of the Scamp, we just threw in some clean clothes, slapped a new sticker on the back, and headed off Saturday morning for the Bluegrass at the Fair festival in Pueblo.

While we were excited to see a lot of the music that would be performed at this event, but we were really going to have a chance to camp out with our favorite bluegrass family, the Friesens.

And also so happy that my good friend Danielle and her kiddos showed up to spend some time with us.  Danielle understands that in order to see us, she just has to come to a festival!  Yep! 

By this point, I was feeling pretty at home in the Scamp....

And we thought our little Scamp looked pretty adorable next to all the huge RVs and motorhomes at this festival....

We loved seeing so many of our good friends playing music at this festival, especially Todd's (the Papa Friesen's) band, Dr. Harlan's Amazing Bluegrass Tonic. 

Our buddies the Blue Canyon Boys were there too!

and the Steel Pennies!

Festival season was in full swing..we were tired by the end of the day on Sunday, but had so much fun!

Meadowgrass

Festival season is underway!  I am absolutely never happier than when I'm at a music festival, surrounded by family and friends, tents, nature, music around every corner, and like-minded festivarians.   I never get tired of it.  But this is sure to be our best festival season yet.  Because we have the SCAMP with us!!!!

The Scamp has changed our festival lives.  Setup and takedown are a piece of cake.  We sleep well in a dry, quiet, warm place.  It's cute and fun, and attracts lots of visitors in the campground.  I'll continue to wax poetic about my love for our little scamp throughout the summer season.  But for now...I'll just say that it's making me beyond happy.  

We had visitors join us throughout the weekend.  My parents were able to spend the day with us on Friday, and our closest friends came to the festival on Saturday and Sunday with baby Grayson!

Oh how I wish all of life could be as simple and heavenly and beautiful as festival life is.
