All the single (Lords and) Ladies

Happy Medieval Faire day, all my serfs, knights, and vassals! Today and yesterday we have been marveling at the jousting, fried apple turnovers, strange Medieval dancing, inspiring ballads, and borderline creepy oaths of fealty.

Check out G$ with her chalice, aka Pimp Cup

A couple of things I've noticed from this experience:

1. You guys know WAY too much about us, as evidenced by the Oaths of Fealty and Coat of Arms.
2. Medieval dancing needs to make a comeback. 
3. Watching people fall while jousting may be one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I think my total fall count was three for the day yesterday.
4. Also, Abhinav will live in legend for his slide into someone else's head of the enemy (aka grapefruit) while sword fighting. 
5. Everyone needs to bust out their own personal Medieval chalice at lunch for the rest of the year. 

We've had so much fun the last two days; you guys have done a fantastic job! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Here's my third period dancing, with David in the middle. 

Just thinking ahead, this weekend is a great opportunity to get a Humanities Experience out of the way WHILE taking your Valentine on a date. Two birds, one stone? (Don't tell your Valentine you're doing it for extra credit). Or take the squad out to some of these events going on this weekend:

• Dallas Summer Musicals is showing American in Paris, based off of the Gene Kelley film from the 50s. Momma Virdin and I went to see it, and we LOVED it, if you're into theater and extensive dance numbers. 
• Speaking of ballet, if you're into Disney movies and also dance, check out a performance of Alice in Wonderland told as a ballet. 
• The DMA was so kind as to align their curriculum with us and do an exhibition titled "Art and Nature in the Middle Ages". Check it out!

Have an AMAZING weekend friends!
