Medieval Faire 2009

Well we spent all day Saturday at the Medieval Faire in Norman OK with Carlin, Aubrey, Baby Sam, Mitchell, Amber and Miguel. We occasionally ran into my other sister Wendy and her friend Paul(?) also. It was pretty fun. Sam who has lately had some stranger-danger, especially about Nate, was super friendly and willing to be carted around by anyone willing to cart him around. I'm pretty bad about taking pictures at things like this - I'd rather just have fun at the time. So here's all I got:

Pic #1 - Sam & his bottle...
While Sam was in a surprisingly good mood for someone begin carted around all day and missing 2 naps he did get fussy on occasion. Especially when we had the audacity to put him in the stroller instead of carrying him like the king he is. That is until Nate put his big medieval faire drink bottle in the stroller with him. He loved it. He sucked on it and hugged it and used it to prop himself up. Such fun!

Pic #2 - Sam the Knight
We found some little tiny swords and shields so of course we needed pictures. :)

Pics # 3 & 4 - The Boys found the Swords
Of course we had to spend ample time with the boys looking at swords. oh how fun... Nate found a sword that was almost 6 feet long. I can't even imagine how much it actually cost.

Pic #5 - The Ax Throw
Carlin, Nate and Miguel all tried the Ax Throw. The object was to chuck those weird ax-things at the shields on the wood trying to hit the small painted heart in the middle. Strength is needed but probably more important is releasing at the exact right time. Nate did hit the heart and was therefore 'Knighted'. He is very proud.
