We went on Friday for the School Trip Day and learned some things from costumed actors.
Then we went back on Saturday for the full feast effect.
These pics show a mix of both days.
See the learning?
This guy taught us all the parts of his gun, how to load it and fire it.
We took breaks for rest and nourishment.
Watching a wood-turner
This is super hard.
See?
Reuben needed to be convinced to try it.
I think he knew he wasn't going to be perfect at it on his first try
and he wanted to avoid failure.
He was right, so we moved on to the next game.
Throw the ring with these two sticks.
She said this used to be a game played by both girls and boys, but eventually only girls played it.
She thought the boys were banned from playing due to their playing it like boys:
Wild and rough.
It was fun.
And quicker to be good at.
Not like that roll the wheel with a stick game.
I realized today that this one is nearly ten!
Ack.
These are the Budabi Brothers.
We watch their funny juggling show every year,
even though we could tell all their jokes now.
We even considered inviting them to stay the night at our house,
instead of in their tent.
But we didn't.
But it could've been fun.
Or weird.
Okay, down to business.
Forget all this educational, entertaining stuff.
Let's shop!
He quickly learned to say 'rabbit foot.'
The whole point, according to the boys, for this event
is to shop and purchase a new weapon.
Happy Birthday!
Pirate sword with belt and sheath.
Time to battle.
Charlie's first sword.
Ah, so cute.
Here's some battle video.
It was a grand time.
If I had a daughter I'd get more into the costumes.
Fancy dresses and parasols.
Then the boys would want soldier uniforms.
But Paul... he would go more for the voyager look that made us giggle:
the longish shirt with a flappy thing at the waist.
Cold legs.
And bottom.
