When Sapphire asked if we could go see the people who fight in the mud, I knew I needed to plan a field trip to the PA Renaissance Faire. One hundred of our homeschool group joined us for a day in the 1500s. King Henry the VIII was still fit and trim when we saw him. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the reactions they received from the actors.
They now know how to curtsy.
The latter half of the summer also took us to a cabin at Raystown Lake, a week of swimming lessons, and VBS. This year Sapphire impressed herself by passing the swim test and claiming her right to the diving board, apparently a huge rite of passage for a nearly six year old.
