Little Miss T was wonderful the entire time, and was even so considerate to hold off on her dirty diapers all through Friday and Saturday until we got home on Saturday evening! Very considerate, that girl!
We went "camping" Friday night and shared a cabin with the B family. We had a discussion as to whether or not we could truly call it "camping" with a good conscience, but we decided that because there was a camp fire and the bathrooms/showers were in a different building that we could say we went camping with a perfectly clear conscience. So there!
I've posted some pictures here, and be warned if you click through to them, they are large. I haven't bothered to sample them down to a smaller size. (about 2MB each)
Here is Sir Knight of the Blazing Sword playing chess. He knew the rules backwards and forwards and even had a pretty good eye for looking for pieces he could take and where I could take his pieces. Relatively few statements of "Wait, wait. Look at your pieces again before you move."
Once in the festival, we had a picture with Robin Hood! He later asked if Robin Hood was a real (in the historic sense) person.
Here we thread the Maypole. They didn't do a real wrapping of the Maypole this years, but all the kids had fun anyway. (Yes, that is C in the background in her gypsy outfit.)
And here I am doing a bit of axe throwing! I hit the target's heart four out of five times, but the axes weren't sticking for me. In spite of the picture's appearance, I wasn't heaving the axes very hard. I should have put a bit more force on them, in retrospect. Sir AP next to me, and Sir DB (hidden behind AP) both got one to stick in the target's heart! Huzzah!
