Imagine thirteen, or maybe more, sheep spread and scattered throughout a straw-covered area, not really a field, but more of an area, and there are kids holding each others' hands in perfectly arranged circles and squares and heptagons (they are practicing for the first geometry "pop" quiz that was supposed to be a true pop quiz but it was announced by accident by the teacher), and there's an old, but for some reason not rusted, cannon (because most of these areas that aren't fields have cannons or other noticable weapons and I think people accept that it was a revolutionary battleground or something like that) next to midday fires cooking hotdogs and beans and melting syrups for ice cones that will be eaten throughout the entire day, but mostly eaten after playing badmitten and  karaoke that some people joke will be the first ever outdoor karaoke singoff, even though it probably won't be, but doesn't matter because these kinds of events do not require you to think twice about making jokes.

I want to check that imagination out.
