LIKE- MINDS


Friendly, joyous, kind, generous, real, and respectful are some of the words that come to mind when we gather with like-minded families. I can't help but SMILE when I think of our days together. Most recently we attended a gathering at a lake in central MA. 


There was swinging. . .  for all ages






and swimming 





                                     
                                  and sand play





and discovering




and some love.


There was jumping





and hooping
(Directions to make your own hoop here)





                                       
                                    and boffer-ing
           (Directions to make your own boffer here and here.)





                                  and blowing bubbles



                                   and eating.



      There was decorating of t-shirts.


                                 and listening to music


                                    and watching the fire.

There is a different *vibe* at unschooling gatherings. Paramount is how welcome people feel, how all age children are happy and get along with one another, how parents respect children and children respect parents, and everyone is accepted,young and old, for who they are at the moment. Peaceful and joyful and fun . It doesn't get much better than this  :)



                                       happy day!
