Ok, we found out where all of the St. Patrick's Day fun went....into St. George's Day!! He is the patron Saint of England and Bombardier beer sponsors all of the events :) We went to a Medieval St. George's festival on Saturday and there was jousting and archery contests as well as ample opportunities for the boys to be "trained up" as viking, then medieval, then red coat soldiers, each age with different weaponry. Really, with battle re-enactments and everything. Matthew ended up as a Scotsman who dies bravely in battle. Nick was part of the French cavalry who fled after raiding the English camp. All of it involved screaming with your "war face" on and attacking big burly men, who nicely fell to the ground when attacked by the screaming hordes of children. You will notice a slight change in our wardrobe...yes, those are shorts that you see.....winter had finally cleared out....we hope!!
