So who's planning on hitting faire tomorrow? It'll be a little warm for it, but I'm planning to armor up. Warmest day this week. Figures.

hey man. it was good seeing u... even if it was for 15 seconds. we went inside an toured etc, saw Kat in the parade but didn't see you anymore. We looked for Kat again but couldn't find her either.  The kids started to melt down and Autumn got a blister on her foot so we headed out after 1 sometime i think. the 3 pictures looked great:)  wish i could have hung out more but people wanted lunch and to go out on the boat at Lake Anna.

Hey, sorry we missed you! I took a little longer getting in the gate than I originally thought... Guess why? I ran into our very own Sir Brian and his wife, and Dragonlover(s), out in the parking lot. We geared up, and once inside slowly made our way around the back of the site (shade is a good thing). I figured I'd let you guys find us, since we tend to stand out. :) Kat spent most of the day at the Royal Glade since she's a noble this year.

Truly it is regrettable we did not catch up to you Sir Wolf...Actually Sir Ed was doing his best to
get into the gate however we were lagging a bit behind causing him some minor vexation as these
pictures will attest!  ;)



We did manage to get it all together though!



Here the three of us are posing prettily.  :D


And here we were hobnobbing with the royalty. :)

ah shucks. when we were at that stage there were guys dressed as women and women dressed as men. Autumn wanted to sit down for a few and then it ended.

Great pictures!

It's a shame you didn't get to stay longer, Wolf. We ended up staying until the end of the day. I managed to hold up against the heat pretty well, but those last 30 minutes started to really make me drag. Once I pealed the armor off and guzzled a couple of bottles, and took some excedrin, I finally started to bounce back.

Too true, Sir Edward! Sir Brian and I were just thinking that was one of the more
miserable climes we've dealt with. It was still a great time all around and I wish
I could've said "hello" Sir Wolf!

It did get a bit warm, but it's definitely been worse there.

I keep forgetting to comment-- haha, I forgot all about those parking lot pictures with me doing the "hurry up!" thing. You missed catching me tapping my wrist. :) Hah, too funny. :)

It was great to spend some time with all of you down there at VARF. It's always great to have a "knightly invasion"!

Yes it was unfortunate we missed the wrist tapping pose, that was funny!  :)

It was a lot of fun. Can't wait for us to get all together at MDRF!
...And I do mean ALL of us next time!  ;)
