Melee at the Castle

We just went to Melee Madness held at the "Castle" behind the Utah State Hopital in Provo. I was pretty busy with a lunch fundraiser so I only snapped a few shots, including a nice one of the boys...

I didn't get any of the "castle" itself except for the tower behind the boys. Well, there's always next year!

The BEST report card ever!

Benjamin received his report card from second grade. He is doing wonderfully! Check out the best report card ever!

Take a look below and see all the things we did in May. I never got a change to post them and now it's June! I hope I didn't forget anything. We are looking forward to the rest of the summer being just a busy! I'll try to keep it all posted. Our next event is "Melee Madness" which is this Saturday (June 6th) at the "Castle" in Provo (a rock amphitheater be ind the State Hospital). It's a free SCA event so we've invited as many folks as possible. I hope if you read this before then, you'll consider dressing up and getting to know what life in the current middle ages is like!

...and he was judged by Head Master West!

Middle Eastern War in Moab!

This year Middle Eastern War was held in the Riding of Red Bridge, aka Moab, Utah. We had a lovely time and the event was well attended but not really long enough! The location was terrific and we'll be back to hold it there again next year. Here are a few shots of our camp:

And the area:

And finally, the petroglyphs nearby:

Alan gets his First Class
