This weekend is Aubrey's last weekend with us until Spring, so we did a couple special events.
Up the hill from the castle, the knight games and market were fun. The tournament told the story of SchlossBurg, and how it overcame some opponents. There were a couple of fights in which they "fought to the death" and this concerned Keira. She kept asking "Is he ok??" So I reassured her quite a lot that this was just a play, no one was really hurt.
First, On Saturday we went to a Knight Joust/tournament at a castle called SchlossBurg. This castle was much more Chris' idea of a "Castle" than the pepto pink mansion in Dusseldorf.

There was no power, so it was pushed by two running men. The kids loved it.
At the market, we lso got a few trinkets for the kids. Keira got a pointy pink princess hat, brady a small wooden sword with sheath, and Aubrey a leather braided bracelet. Chris and I bought a metal toy meant for relaxation (It shifts shapes, and manipulating it is supposed to help relax you).
By the end of the day, all were tired. In fact, Brady and Keira fell asleep on the way home and slept through the night. (We fed them dinner before leavingfor the hour car ride home).
