At the Jousting Tournament-oh wait nope!

Two things that Ethne is serious about-apples and ice cream. How fitting that she should have one of each at the same time :)

click on these pictures to see them enlarged. You can see that my boys are having a huge effect on Ethne. She is also being influenced by living in Wellington. Notice she is walking around barefoot. I can no longer keep shoes and socks on her for very long at a time. tisk tisk!

So Garrett found out there was a medieval fair going on about 30 min. from Wellington and we decided to go. He needed pictures of it and the kids were really excited. We invited people to join us and offered to take a few kids that we could fit in the van if they were interested. There was a lot of interest and it ended up that we picked up Eddie (14) from his house and the Jonah (6) from his. We set out and then when we got there there was nothing going on at the park. We drove all around, we asked people-nothing!. Garrett got on my phone and looked at both the websites advertising the festival and he found a second address :( That address just so happened to be 1/2 a day's drive away so we opted not to run off with other peoples children chasing it. When we got 3/4 of the way home we got a call from one of the families we invited. They were there too-oh man I don't think I need to tell you how horrible that we felt for them packing up their 5 kids and driving 30min to find something that wasn't there. We didn't waste the day though. We played at the park there before driving to Weta and taking everyone to the Weta Cave that is part of Garrett's work. They LOVED it. They we got them ice cream and took them all home. It was a fun day and we found out that the festival will be at that park sometime in February so we promised to take them back then :)
