| The kids watching the opening ceremonies on Saturday |
I'd found this info on a website (that doesn't seem to be working anymore):
Short hair was common for little girls and young teens. The hair was blunt cut, usually at a length to about the base of the neck. The hair was neatly pinned back or a ribbon was tied in the hair like a hair band to keep it off the face.
Long hair was usually braided for play (parted in the middle and braided on each side just behind the ear), then pinned in rolls to the sides of the head. Braided hair was rarely left to hang down, this is only seen on farm/frontier children. Long hair might also be contained in a hair net or rolled into a bun at the nape of the neck. Long hair would only be left down for special occasions, when it would be curled into ringlets
So, since Sarah's hair is longer than the base of her neck, she got a "hair do" (for which Emi was very jealous)

Thanks for posting those pictures that way I got to see what else was in the camp as I never did get out & about. I love this event, a fun family thing to do & FREE.
Loved, loved the pictures! Thanks for sharing them...I wondered if you if all of you would be over there this past weekend! Heard that was going on, but wasn't sure if you folks were all still doing that or not!
Love, AM
