Llamas up! Our campers today began an early morning with llama and unicorn songs, followed by a scrumptious delicious breakfast. Of course, these well filled bellies were enough to get them energized for their arts workshops where they continue to take creative risks and prepare for the parent presentation! With everywhere they went, their heads bobbed to the many camp songs that they've been able to learn this week, bobbing and shaking with frustration as they try to figure out riddles and mind games.

With their minds flowing, and tummies filled with a tasty meal, we safely made it to the Festival of Arts in Laguna to explore the visual arts. Hands were busy with making wonderful creations: scratch art, raku pots, print-making. These curious arts-x-pressers were thrilled when we were able to tour backstage the Pageant of the Masters, voices oooooooohing and aaaaaaaaahing at the beautiful masterpieces, props, and meeting the famous pony, Zack.

The gorgeous Laguna Beach made a wonderful dinner setting, and with Carl St. Clair stopping by for a visit, campers were extremely inspired to be brave in their Pursuit of Happiness. These fired-up arts-x-pressers continued with more oooooooohing and aaaaaaaaahing at the many recreated masterpieces Laguna had to offer. Campers followed Washington and Jefferson in America's creation, rode horses across the great plains, danced under Japan's beautiful cherry blossoms, fawn over the first taste of coffee, dance with native Africans, celebrate with Hindu traditions, all in all living through many cultures and finding Happiness in its many forms throughout History.

The campers are all sound asleep now, ready to wake up bright and early to perform their hearts out at tomorrow's parent presentation. Arts-x-pressers dream happily tonight.
