There is also the difference in writing between scene and summary. A scene is a significant moment which develops characters and furthers the plot of your story. Scenes are expanded, and include much more detail. He said, she said, it looked like this, they acted like that, and the sky was blue. Summary is what takes place in between, and which is not as significant to the interaction between characters, though is still significant enough to mention. Scene is a specific moment; summary is what connects it to other moments, and enriches it.
Example: Bilbo's birthday was a scene. The passage of seventeen years was summary.
It's not necessary to write every detail if we can agree on a few main points that we'd rather concentrate on.
One specific moment Foley and I would like to have involves the horse race. So that would be a scene. Riddles would make a great scene because it's a throwback to The Hobbit. The three-legged race promises for amusement and interaction between characters who may not necessarily want to be that close to each other. Or who might.
But the fire-building or rope climbing, for example, in which fewer are participating, might be prudent to skim over. "Also during the day's festivities were ______, and ______ came out victorious."
Or obviously we could just write everything.
