pyatI'd call it a win. The girls had fun, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
velvetpage had fun, and I had fun. Within 20 minutes of arrival, Elizabeth had found two friends. Their mother gave us child-sized garb that fit Claire and Elizabeth perfectly. ruiskafleck and wggthegnoll arrived around 90 minutes after we did, and introduced us to the powers that be. We ate apples and watched fighting and lazed in the autumn sun. I got to see Lake Niapenco, an entire lake about 20 km from my house, the existence of which I did not even suspect until well into adulthood.
Behold! Sir Hornrim of Thickneck!
Arrow'ed!
Elizabeth, playing with a new friend, in her new garb.
We weren't the only anachronistic folks out today. This biplane went over a few times.
Claire decided the grass near the lake shore was a good place to suddenly stop and lie down. She was right. It was comfy.
velvetpage, being giddy. No, really!
A more closely cropped version of the previously posted pic. Sleeves! Smiles! Cars!
Hatchet practice. One woman in attendance suggested Elizabeth try it, seeming to mistake her for a much older child. We were like... "Um... she's five?"
wggthegnoll (on the right), bashing heads in the name of justice!
ruiskafleck, with some variety of space-age hand loom.

By my reckoning, the bodices you were chasing were on your bubbly wife and two little giggly bodices.
