Winter Oasis ~

 On Saturday we drove down the mountain for one of our favorite events, Winter Oasis!  Its been almost 2 years since we attended an SCA event (work and other things have prevented us from playing lately), so it was nice to go see everyone.

 Jordyn was anxious to get inside and start dancing (she didnt want to be outside wasting time taking photos), thus the stink face in the photo with mommy :)  But once inside there was so much fun to be had, her cranky face quickly turned to smiles!

 There were a lot of  little kids there, mostly girls, so when one of them dragged out a bag of toy ponies, it was a dream come true, and they became friends for life!  :)

 Of course they all got to paint their nails, color in coloring books, and play with barbies...

 but they were especially excited to get henna on their hands!  Jordyn cant wait to show the kids at school.

 Meanwhile, i was thrilled to have some adult time with my friends...some of us havent seen each other since Rogue Camp last summer, so we had lots of catching up to do!

 There was delicious food, interesting beverages, and lots of music and dancing...here are some folks doing turkish line dancing...

 I steal a quick moment with justin while he changes out instruments...

 and then it was back to more music and dancing!

 Winter Oasis always comes at the perfect time of year...right in the middle of winter, with all its color and magic...the perfect way to spend the day!  Huzzah!
