Scarborough Family Day

Thanks to the lovely swine flu, all of our usual activities were canceled this weekend. So we decided that Sunday would be the perfect day for a family day at Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie. We met up with our friends, Chuck & Jenn and their two boys, Brandon & Matthew.As we entered the gates, we let Riley know what would happen if he misbehaved today! :) Just kidding!

Then we decided that if he is going to be a true "rennie" like his parents, that Riley needs to go to Violence class and learn how to use a sword properly for a sword fight. Well I am pretty sure that even after the fight, Riley would be in trouble, but they had fun!
Matthew is really getting into the fun! He is ready to take on any competitor.
Alex just wanted to steal daddy's drink. You should have seen her going after it with a vengence!

After all the combat, we decided it was time for a little dragon ride!

After swinging, he needed to practice his jousting skills. Ok it took him 3 times, but that just means extra riding!

Then we headed over to the elephant ride. Riley really enjoyed this although he thought the elephant needed a bath.

After all the practice with swords and jousting, it was time for him to become a real knight. Here he is getting sworn in as "Sir Riley."

After all the serious stuff, it was time for a real battle. Here is Riley & Brandon having a sword fight.
And of course, we had to buy a sword. He picked out the pirate one. Good boy!

All three boys with their swords, Matthew, Riley, & Brandon.
