Last weekend was Melina's first trip to the Oregon Country Fair. It's a three-day hippie festival held in the woods outside Eugene, and we go almost every year. There's lots of music, good food, costumes, camping, and creativity. Melina seemed to enjoy it. She spent most of the time in the front pack on Jeff, though sometimes we held her over our shoulders or in front of us so she could see what was going on. She got lots of smiles from passers-by. Camping wasn't a problem at all. We used my parents' VW bus, and Melina slept in her Moses basket swaddled up like a little mummy. She actually slept better for those three nights than any time before or since. *I* did not sleep well, though, and am still recovering. Next weekend we head to the North Cascades in Washington for another adventure!

She can see "what's going on" just as well from the back - it's just that her point of view is slightly different
