Labor Day Weekend 2010

We are still recovering from this crazy past weekend (at least I am) We had a very funny Saturday going fishing and then to a real rendezvous (that was a bit reminiscent of the renaissance faire we went to several mos. ago) The kids caught 6 fish and we ate them on Sunday night for dinner. They had fun making medicine bags with "twodog" and "snakes" (painted sticks) at the rendezvous and trying to catch candy shot out of a real cannon by a man named "crazy." It was definitely different from your usual movie or whatever most people do! On Monday we attended a pirate party at the museum- (well, some people went to a movie) It was a really fun party and the kids really enjoyed themselves. It was a full weekend and lots of fun!

Fishing

M caught all 3 of his fish by himself- he did really well!

At the Rendezvous

This picture was taken in a tent labeled "for sail." It is not clear whether the person who wrote it was trying to be authentic or really couldn't spell "sale.""

The Pirate Party

Painted faces

I think they stabbed each other in the heart several times each

The pirate crew

E got chosen to come up on stage at the "pirate training" show and make his meanest face
