The Carnival, Scottish Festival, Sword making, WOW!

We celebrated Mother's Day! I was still recouping, but I was ready to have fun!

Kris made me breakfast! Thanks honey; it was delicious!

Then we went to Dominique's school carnival.

Dominique was so excited that she could barely hold still long enough to take any pictures. Tyler spent most of his time on his Daddy's shoulders. It seemed to be a good spot for him!

Dominique and Tyler were more interested in playing on the play structures than the Carnival.

The kids were able to dunk the Principal by throwing a ball and hitting the lever. SWEET!

I had to coax Tyler to get into this jumping gym. He was skeptical at first, but after a while he didn't want to leave.

If you look closely you'll see that I am still able to fly across the Monkey-bars. Woohoo! Tyler was very impressed and kept telling me to be careful...tee hee!

After a while it was time for a refreshment. There's nothing better than a snow-cone on hot day! MMMMmmmmMmMm!

Tyler didn't even dump his out...and ate the whole thing!

Awww...isn't she just cute!

Tyler made it to about here on this play structure and then decided it was too "dangerous!" LOL (Another sign that he is growing up too fast! Dang It!)

Tyler did well, especially with Daddy's help!

What a brave 'lil thing!

It was time to return to the carnival and paint some faces! The line was long, but the kids were very patient! I have to say I was impressed! Tyler pictured a snake and Dominique picked a blue rose and some cherries. It was adorable!

They both sat very still!

Then it was of to the Scottish Festival to watch some sword fighting.

This was pretty amazing to watch! Kris was in heaven!

Watch out!

Dominique also got to try her hand at archery. . .

she even hit the target. WOW!

While Tyler played with the baby Scottish Terriors.






He was a little shy at first.

Tyler didn't really know what think.

And then . . .

they got all caught up. Hehe.

The day wasn't over...we had some energy left, so. . .

We purchases some 1/2 inch plywood and went to work. We free-handed some swords and traced some guns.

Kris did a phenomenal job cutting these things out!

Then it was my turn to sand and paint them.

They looked stunning and Tyler was giddy!

This was fun and the outcome was worth all the sanding!

EXCALIBUR!






Now we are ready for a shoot-out and a sword fight; care to join us?
