knitchick2: Today at camp I got to shear a sheep and did drop spindle which was AWESOME. And it was pretty easy. So I got to bring a ball of yarn that I made. Mom was sooooo jealous. Shearing a sheep was fun too. We used hand shears that weren’t electric. It was my counselor sheep that we sheared . There were 4 of them. Today has to be my favorite day. I almost forgot! Last night mom and I went to a comical play about Fairbanks. That was a hoot. So if you ever come up, I recommend it. It’s in Alaskaland in Pioneer Park.... read more

knitchick2: Hi, on Friday at camp was all about painting. We learn techniques from a local artist.We also played Ultimate frisbee. Where I was on the losing team and we had to walk back and forth on the long field in 80 degree heat. Let's just say we were all exhausted. That night mom and I went down to Chena Lakes to go to a Shabbat service with the Fairbank's Jewish congreation. It was a beatiful night.Everyone there was extremely kind. They had a female student rabbi lead services. She and her husband both had wonderful voices. As well as everyone. It was perfect weather, in the 70s with a nice breeze. The oneg had yummy fresh fruit, including my favorite. Pineapple!... read more

knichick2: hi, back from day three at camp. I was busy the second night so that's why I didn't blog. Anyway, today was pretty sweet. In the morning my group and I went to the botanical gardens. Where there is a long trench with running water down to a little pond. We found out if someone put their head at the end of it and other people clogged the water in the trench with their arms and let go at the same time the person at the end got a pretty good shower. But it was 80 degrees out so it helped. After that we went back to the main building for lunch. A man who knows the camp and stuff, came and brought his three 2 month old puppies. SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!! After that we went ... read more
