Ginormous Turkey Legs

We made our 2nd trip in as many years to the Kansas City Renaissance Festival - only this year we brought the boy along. The theme for this weekend was an Irish and Scottish flare but we just couldn't talk Tyson into wearing a kilt. Something about it later appearing on Facebook. 

We enjoyed some classical jousting, traditional music, ginormous turkey legs, fire eating sideshows, and more! It was fun being medieval for the day. If anything, people watching takes on a whole new meaning when attending your local renaissance festival!

Soccer Half Over

Soccer season hit its half-way mark with a rare Saturday game this weekend (and a wet and cold one at that). The Tonganoxie HS soccer teams finished the week with an away game at Turner and a couple of home games against Piper and Eudora. Their biggest game of the season comes Monday at Mill Valley. It's incredible to see how far Tyson has come in the short time he's been playing ... and it keeps him busy too! Every day he has either a practice or game after school along with early morning seminary to start the day off. Good thing he's been making better decisions to get to bed earlier.  It's amazing what life lessons will teach you. Now we'll see what lessons his current grades will teach him ...
