Our Middle Ages Co-op Day – Part II
To see part I of our day go to my post on Our Middle Ages Co-op Day – Part I Just at the time our event began, the rain completely stopped (after raining for 4 hours) and it was quite beautiful outside. It was too late to change anything so we continued with having the event in the racquetball court. The marketplace was so much fun for everyone. We told the kids to haggle and to be loud when offering what was at their table. “Fresh bread and butter. 2 shillings!” We also told our guests beforehand to haggle because once the “coins” in their moneybags was gone, it…

Hunting Fever
About this time of year, hunting fever sets in. There are elk and deer hunts on the schedule in the upcoming months and just this past Friday antelope season started. Zachary was drawn for a unit that gave out only 4 tags and there was an average of 70 people who put in their name per tag. He was one of the lucky ones. He was fortunate enough to be blessed with an antelope opening day (September 4) which was wonderful since we had our Middle Ages Co-op on Saturday. This way he wasn’t being pulled in two directions. Did you know these facts about antelope? They have exceptional eyesight –…
