Robin Hood

There are some have been so many things we have experienced in the last 3 years from living in England that I will look back on for as long as I live. The weekend being one of them! We made the 2+ hour drive from our house to Nottingham on Saturday morning to visit the beautiful Sherwood Forest for there annual Robin Hood Festival!!

Sherwood Forest was amazing and we had beautiful weather to go with it. It was very cool to see all the booths and actors really getting into the medieval feel of things. Jesters walking around throwing pins, there was one playing the recorded through his nose! Musicians all through out the Forest as we walked around, Story telling, Which was the first time Isaiah had ever sat for a story time except for at home and her really loved it. We had a go at shooting a cross bow, watch an archer shoot a maniquin head, a head of cabbage and even a stick the size of a pencil!!

We finished our time at Sherwood forest by hiding out under some trees waiting for the Jousting tournament, the boys, especially Gabe, Had been tired of ether sitting in the stroller or sitting in the car seat so they were both very excited about getting out and playing while we waited! When the jousting tournament started Drew and Isaiah headed over to watch but G had no interest so we stayed back on the picnic blanket. Gabriel is still not walking but yesterday was very special and one of the reasons I will remember this day forever, Gabriel took his first 2 steps inside SHERWOOD FOREST!!!! I tired to call Drew over to see but it was too late :( But what a memory to have made there!!

We ventured home shortly after stopping for a few souvenirs!

We have had beautiful weather all weekend here and even enjoyed a whole day home, doing whatever we wanted and not having any plans! This week will be our last whole week with Drew home, so we plan to spend a lot of time together just as a family!!! Hope everyone has had a beautiful weekend as well!!!!

Until next time...
