We really do not live 1/4 of our lives in Costume....

Despite what one would gather from our posts. Here we have yet another opportunity to dress up!!! This celebration is in honor of Olivia's and Arianna's birthdays! They did it up right and we all had an absolutely WONDERFUL time!

The Beautiful Medieval Birthday Maidens

The Discher kids with family flags in the background. The Pollock girls went all out - researched each family's flag and custom made them for the occasion! Whew! Tires me out just thinking about all that work! It was really special.

Wait a minute...what have we here? A Jester? Where did he come from?

Sweet

"Hey! Get a load of that guy! He think he's some Turkish warrior or something?

"Hey! He's serious...hold the pictures for a minute..."

"Alright...took care of him"

Uh Oh... Mrs. Graves don't look like she wants to be messed with.

"Hey! Get this guy outta here...he thinks he's gonna cheer me up or something..."

"It worked!!! Good job, Mr. Court Jester!"

"Friar Tuck or what?" "You want me to take care of him?"



Sarah made sure Uncle Hans and Daddy were authentic. Oh..and that's an authentic Medieval Pooh outfit on Emma. We really went all out on this one.



Peter LOVES his baby sister!




Time for the gentlemen to pull the maidens in the chariot. They will face much hardship and danger, but ... well, we'll see.





Oh NO!!! An upset chariot! Poor Pete did his best, but just couldn't make the ramp! (The ramp ended up being eliminated from the course.)

The King of the Realm to the rescue!!!

Sarah took it in good spirits.



Matt is determined not to dump Grace ... again... :) and I think Grace is pretty determined not to get dumped!




"Hey...wait a minute! Nobody's laughing!"



Beautiful Birthday Girl





KNIFE THROWING




ARCHERY

"Is that?....Nah..."



Even the Friar got into the action (Notice the hair? Now, that's commitment!)



"Let the Feasting Begin!!!"...First a prayer to the King of Kings..."No King but King Jesus!"

Mrs. Stokes and Mrs. Graves ... still in good spirits! Boy that Jester's good!

No utensils allowed...adds to the umm "atmosphere"

Daniel serves Emma - in royal style...and she's loving it!

Mama and daughter after a long day...

In which we display our family crest proudly!
