Events of Summer 2010
The Seafaris residence camp runs from July 30 through August 4 at the Skylark Ranch near Santa Cruz. It is organized by the Girl Scouts of America. No iPods, no phones, no Lady Gaga, no Nintendo, no distractions…. incommunicado for a week of fun, camaraderie and growth.
This is our fourth year of attending the Midsummer Mozart Festival at Gundlach-Bundschu Winery, Napa. Program II featured Seymour Lipkin – wow!
We saw the Oakland Athletics play against Chicago White Sox at the Oakland Coliseum. We got seats in the Club Luxury Suite 22 – with dad’s company, awesome! The game started at 1:10 PM. Never been to a real baseball game before. The A’s triumphed over the White Sox, 10 – 2. Had to dash away to get to Gun-Bun on time.
“Take me out to the ballgame,
Take me out to the park.
Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks,
I don’t care if we never come back…”
They voted “The Magpie”, by Monet, as their favorite and wondered what all the fuss was about with “Whistler’s Mother”, but they kept returning again and again to their favorites and eventually emerged from the exhibit with a deeper appreciation for the ” Impressionists”.
The last time “Whistler’s Mother” was in San Francisco was in 1933. There’s a good chance they’ll never see it again, unless they visit in Paris at the Musée d’Orsay…
Arrived in camp around 4:00 PM (Fallen Leaf Camp).
Set-up camp. Prepared Santa Maria style BBQ tri-tip, beans and garlic bread with Joe, Albert, Dennis, Terry, Charlotte and us by 7:00. AMS had brought along the tapioca pudding she’d made and everyone enjoyed the treat. Later we were all annoyed by a very loud (and large) party causing a ruckus that kept us all up.
Theme for this camp is Caribbean art and dance. It runs from June 14 to June 18 @ 9 am to 4 pm at El Carmelo. Both her and Majestic are enrolled together.
