I have two little girls 10 and 12 and this is our second year having attended the Woodstock fruit festival
And a couple of friends have said always not like kind of like a little hippie sort of festival
drug use and marijuana
Hippies dancing around the fire and the latter part is true
There are hippies dancing around the fire, which is probably one of my favorite reasons for attending Woodstock
But the first part, you know is not true. It's actually a very safe and family-friendly festival
There's are having young people but there's also some older folks and families. I saw a kind of kids this past year
Why does it matter what the Woodstock fruit festival is that it is held at first week here in the United States
United States
When kids are heading into school, that's when Woodstock starts
it's like the first week of school and that kind of limits a lot of families attending we homeschool so
For us is not a problem
So I wish it wasn't held on the first week, but unfortunately
that's the only time they can do it because that campus Walden where the Woodstock Festival is held it's actually used all summer for
Camps. So that's the only bad thing about Woodstock is that not everyone is able to attend because it's you can you know the right
the first window smoking
So the first thing I love about Woodstock is actually the freedom that your kids will have you can set them loose
Obviously if you have a toddler, maybe not so much, but you can set them loose and they're absolutely perfectly safe
The staff is uber responsible
They are trained. They there's lifeguards there are you know, there's stuff everywhere
Also the other adults and other people if they see your kid
silly, we'll say something like climbing on the rocks or something that's not allowed but it's super super safe and they
Have of course a bunch of activities for the kids. There's rock
there's zipline there's and then there's
Our course ropes up on the trees. There's a lake with all kinds of bouncy things on the water. There's kayaks. There's
Classes that they can take face painting and tie-dye and the activities are endless. That's one of the best things about it
Is that if it feels that we are all in camp
it's like a wonderful wonderful camp where your kids can run amok and be free and you actually
Aren't there to participate with them and you're having a wonderful time with your family
So that's one of my favorite reasons that I love to go to Woodstock
I've already signed up for next year. If you haven't if you have kids and you're on the fence, please please consider Eddie
Another thing that I love about Woodstock is my kids ability to socialize with other people and for me socialization is very very important
No, well
How do your kids socialize if they're not in school? And the first thing I always have to say about that
Is that for me socializing means socializing in the real world in society with people of different ages and backgrounds?
and
You know parts of society different jobs different
Different people not just with the same group of people day in and day out who happen to be the same ages
You are stuck in a very unnatural environment, but that's a whole other video about homeschooling and waiting at home school
So I love the fact that my kids are socializing with kids with grownups with elderly people with
Just about everyone
When we were leaving, most of my kids were high fiving
People all over this the place, you know
they were young girls and older people and I'm they knew people it was just to me that meant so much because that
Is society that is a great big group of people. That is a mixed bag
There's like I said all ages. So I love that. I love that. My kids are comfortable around adults young
And they can carry conversations with all kinds of different people and that they are approached and
Spoken to and
respected like everyone else
They're not talked down to because this is a very special people that would start very enlightened and very awake for people
So that's one of my favorite things about Woodstock
Another thing that I love about Woodstock is that I don't have to worry about what my kids are eating
there's an abundance of fruits and vegetables and you never have to worry about what they're eating which is the case of
Everywhere I go my mom was like, oh my god, what are they eating now or the half now?
Oh my god, please. Don't eat that. Oh, please don't have that
I would stop you're actually like eat all you want eat as much as you want, you know all day long. I'm happy
I'm just so blessed
I'm happy when I'm there because my kids are eating these
Footballs that are like incredibly filled with all kinds of delicious things
Even when they're having ice cream is banana ice cream when they're having cinnamon rolls or like Rob you can see the Moroso he does
Many as you want so if that's the most wonderful thing is like peace
and
complete
You know peace of mind that you don't have to worry about what they're eating
That part I love another thing. I really really love about wood. So besides the activities and fluid the fact that they're socializing
The setting is incredible the setting where you are your Apple State New York here in our lake
You and the accommodations are great. You can attend you can count there
You can stay in a tent or you could say in a private room. We stayed in a cabin so the cabins were great
I really really liked them. We made friends with other people we made friends with
People that we don't really would have maybe not had because of the shared cabin experience next year
We're staying in a private room though, because we're going to try that. We haven't done that before
so, um
The setting is unbelievable the lake the the clean mountain air
Just where you are is just so pristine the water. The link is delicious
so that's that's another reason and one of our the last I'm the best reason that I can think of right now is actually
The friendships that you make for life
Last year was our first year and we made friends that we saw again this year and it was like a family reunion
We felt like we were coming home like oh my god
all these people that we met last year that we love so much and here they are again and it was like
Oh my god. Most people are repeat people that tells you a lot
So that was my favorite thing the fact that people are repeat customers
that people keep coming back for more and
You're on the fence. Like I said about bringing your family to Woodstock fruit festival. Please do so
I would love to meet you there. I'm signed up for next year. Oh right in 2019
I'm planning on going for the rest of my life. As long as I have that festival. I'm gonna be there with my kids
It's almost a surreal experience and I really highly highly recommend it. So I hope you enjoyed this video
I hope you will consider going to Woodstock next year and now I don't work for them and I'm not affiliated in any way
I'm just a very happy customer
