diapers and skinny jeans

Like a million, fast moving clips this weekend went by like a time-lapse in our heads. Perfect and blissful moments slipped through our fingers faster than we ever imagined they could, we continue living and carrying on the spirit that lives in these festivals with us until we return next year. Life is  normal  again. Together over the weekend, we sweat more than we ever expected to.  Usually it's not that hot in Michigan this time of year, but these days it was sweltering.  Almost to the point of frustration and exhaustion, we helped each other survive the heat.  On Friday morning, we were even able to take a short trip to the waterpark on site-  so much fun! Showers were somewhat nonexistent.  We made do with the baby wipes we brought, but at some point we got creative and I stood on top of my car with a gallon of water and poured it over Erick as he washed his hair.  It was  hot , you guys. ...

Ahh, good old Electric Forest. Nothing quite like a weekend in the beautiful city of Rothbury, Michigan. These photos were all taken on our Nikon FM 10 with Kodak Gold 200 speed film.  We captured our weekend with both digital and film formats to try and take in as many different views of this magical place as possible.   Erick walked around with the Nikon all day, so please give him a big thumbs up for these shots!  We'll be posting a bigger recap and digital photos / a short video later in the week, but I wanted to give you all a sneak peek since we've been gone for quite some time! ;) It truly was such an amazing time, I only hope I can convert more friends to come with me and camp together in the coming years.  It's an amazing experience that's meant to be shared and cherished for years to come.

( source ) Hello, friends!  As of right now we are almost all packed up and will be hitting the road to Michigan in a few short hours.  It seems as if I was dreaming about this day since the night I left the forest in 2009- I left a little piece of my soul there, and now I'm finally coming back "home" to be reunited with the rest of me.  It may sound crazy to some people, but the experience I've had for two years in this magical space is unparalleled.  Erick and I are going together and hope to meet some new friends along the way.  I am armed with all of my hoops, and we plan on documenting this in the most spectacular way.  I know I will have done my job if somehow, just maybe, I can give you all a glimpse of the wonder the woods of Rothbury are, as if you were experiencing it yourselves. The blog will be pretty quiet until our return on Monday unless we can finagle our way into the Media tent for wifi.  I cannot wait to share stories, photos,...
