Our trip to the "Medieval Times" dinner theatre show.
If there's a Medieval Times show in your city, I recommend it. It's not cheap but it's a lot of fun and they really put on a good show.
And this is us at the Fort Malden Heritage show:

And this is Matthew, demonstrating that you can still intimidate people even when you're small, as long as you have a huge fucking gun:
And this is a shot from the Abingdon Renaissance Faire at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, Ontario:
I recommend the Renaissance Faire; it's a lot of fun. More info at http://www.ontariorenaissancefaire.ca/

Ahh Medieval Times. How many times have I nearly got dragged to that place by everyone from my minons to long-time friends to my boss
*Former Boss of mine used to spend his spare time acutaly Jousting there, You got that right I had a first class back when I was a third who acutal spent some of his spare time clad in platemail marching around beating the crap out of other folks in platemail.

If your kids are anything like I was at their age, my guess is the Ren Fest must've been a pretty big draw on your checking account...

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

Well, it's not proof of the 'evil Wongite horde', but it's close enough.
That image cracks me up. I must find a use for it via photoshop...
And alas, I have no pictures of my own kids for various reasons too numberable and obvious to detail. Closest I can do is my Transformers collection, but that'd just be weird.
I seriously can't tell in that one of Mike in armour whether or not its a war cry or constipation... I feel photoshopping by someone more skilled than I may be in order...
Medieval Times is quite entertaining. We had a school field trip there sometime when I was in high school (might have been a senior class trip...my memory's kinda fuzzy about field trips). Haven't made it to a renfaire yet (although my cousin keeps trying...timing just hasn't worked out). I have made it to a 19th-century campground, though. Blackpowder arms are definitely intimidating, with the large bore they tend to have.
And I'm tempted to make a joke about Vikings not needing long pants, but at 2:30 am I can't think of a punchline...

That towed artillery piece is just the kind of thing that I would put on my lawn as an ornament. If I could get away with it... which is probably a negative.
Your eldest son is going through his growing spurt I see ... I forgot how 'stretched' young kids tend to look when they start grwoing so quickly.
Looks like you all had a good time.

That looks like a whole lot of fun. Though aren't you afraid some "folks" would have "fun" "modifying" that pic of you with that big axe?
Did you rent the medieval gear, and the big axe, or are they yours? If it's the latter, then that'd be very frickin' cool.
