A few things that happened at Kaleidoscope Gathering

• Vivien turned one, and then took her first steps on the pine forest floor the next day.
• I swam in the pond every full day we were there.
• I won the "Wooden Chef" contest by acclamation with my green pepper stuffed with camp leftovers and raspberry-beer sauce — I guess everyone else was busy or had insufficient stuff in their coolers by Sunday night. This means I get to judge next year!
