Last week we attended a "Day of Knights" with some fellow home schoolers. It was heaps of fun, the kids really enjoyed it. I didn't get too many photos though as I was busy chasing Charlie around and trying to keep him out of trouble.

Josh tried his hand at "medieval writing" and making maille (chain-maille, however we learned that "maille" means "chain", so technically it isn't "chain maille"). We learned that it takes about 4 months to make one set of cloths and that a set of knights armour is about equivalent to owning an million dollar house these days. All very interesting, and right down the boys alley, they came home and made new swords.

Eli was practicing being a court jester.
