Marching Through Time!

 Mxyl, Klenda and I went marching, anyway.  The Emperor took the rest of the Zoomlians to the BSO.

We saw friends, Romans, and countrymen...

OK, we made new friends, and saw a fair amount of country folk.  And we did see Romans (shown here advancing on a barbarian while beating their shields with their swords).


 We saw Celts!

We saw Charlamagne's encampment!  We saw Charlamagne's living descendents!  No wait, we were Charlamagne's living descendents...

We saw Vikings!  This meant entirely differnt things for Klenda and Mxyl...


 Klenda tried on armor!

Klenda danced!
 Mxyl plotted to take over the world with the Infinity Gauntlet.

Mxyl:"And I plan to rule it with an iron fist".

He got this from the Six Little Ducks:
Six little ducks that I once knew
Fat ones, skinny ones, cute ones, too
But the one little duck
With the feather on his back
He ruled the others with

AN IRON FIST!!!!

I'm sure we didn't sing it that way with the first few kids...

 Mxyl also tried out a sword (100 Years War).

And  another sword (War of the Roses).

And a bunch of armor not pictured.

And some swords not shown here, including some really interesting zweihanders at the Renaissance German encampment.

We discussed the finer points of swords and arrows (so to speak).


Klenda went back to dancing.


We were having a wonderful time, but we were starting to get hot and a little tired.  That's when I realized we had been there nearly three hours!

We'd seen barely half the reenactors!  We hadn't even made it to the Americans yet!

We decided to go get lunch and go home while it was still fun!  Maybe tomorrow....
