Festival of the Ages Monday, May 28, 2007

Each year Justin's school puts on this AMAZING event called Festival of the Ages where each grade sets up booths and tables from the time period in history that they've studied over the year. Justin's class studied medieval times and he was Robin of Locksley (Robin Hood). Thanks to Oma he had an absolutely fabulous costume that with a little tweaking and the addition of a bow, arrows, and a quiver for the arrows was as authentic as it could be. His little friend, Luke, was Nicholas Copernicus, astronomer, and looked fabulous as well. The two of them hung out together all morning and had so much fun! They waited in line forty-five minutes to joust with foam swords and went all out once it was their turn. What a great end of the year treat and last day of school day!

Pretending to sleep.

My last minute medieval outfit look and one of the teachers (not Justin's) and the lunch monitor. I worked on many, many lunches with her at the beginning of the year when Justin started going full time and Brandon and I agreed to be curriculum coordinators for our Sunday School - so pretty much right up until I overcommitted myself in way too many areas. Oops. Next year my schedule is FREE for when Shawn goes to kinnygarten and for when Mommy wants to go hang out with him at lunchtime. Bethany won't be teaching next year : ( as she is going to UT full time. She is such a sweetheart I am going to miss her!
