Jep - your kids would probably love the jousting. It doesn't involve fake
blood or anything like that, and I'm sure they'd get a kick out of the horses
and pageantry.

When they aren't jousting, they do "milder" things like hitting fruit off a
post while riding their horse... things like that.  Just hang out in the Dust
Bowl/Mud Pit (depends on weather) and check the posted schedule, if they have
one. I usually just ask around.

Jaklumen - the one I'm referring to is that ridiculous bodice that modern
girls have decided is both historical and sexy. It's neither. It's the one
that allows their breasts to HANG over the top (as if that's comfortable).
A proper bodice covers the breasts and supports them. It's the original bra.
(I actually prefer those as they are a hell of a lot more comfortable than
an underwire).

Horrid costumes and annoying accents aside, I'm looking forward to spending
a day with the boy and our friends. I've been promised a new Claddagh ring
since mine had to be cut off at the hospital the other night. :(
