Here are some pictures from our annual field conference which was held in mid December. They're sort of out of order. On the last day of conference the teens organized a medieval fair for the kids. There were different booths/games that had a medieval theme. For playing the games and scoring etc. you could earn shillings. After the whole things was finished Aidan got the trophy for the most points scored in the activities. He gets to keep the trophy till next conference. His name and the year were burned on with a wood burner. He's also proudly displaying his sword which you'll read about below.
It was a great week of Spiritual and Physical refreshment.
This little guy from the village even got in on the fun. He got his face chalked!
The damsel in distress picture.
Aidan's first time with a bow and arrow.
At the smithy you for 5 shillings you could get a wooden sword made. As soon as Aidan heard that he was eager to start earning shillings.
This was the jousting booth. Pete was injured so a fellow missionary helped Aidan.
At the Beauty Parlor you could get your face painted.
This was a unique booth, two opponets played hockey with mops on a piece of wet, soapy plastic.
At the Village Inn you could get drinks or buy candy with your shillings earned. The vendors handed out 'popsicles' or bonbons, an African popsicle, ye glaces. You just pour juice into a small sandwhich style bag tie it off and freeze it.
One evening we enjoyed a BBQ together and someone made balloon hats etc for the kids.
The adults had a great time playing volleyball, court soccer and floor hockey. Unfortunatley on Wed. and Thur. Pete hurt his ankle on one leg and then knee on the other. I'm glad to report he's doing much better. Our friend Brian had some pretty nasty looking road rash.
Enjoying Sports at the Sports Court. Which is just below our house.
During the mornings the adults had worship and teaching times. The kids had VBS style classes. They had a great time and enjoyed making crafts, like this crown!
Aidan is really starting to become a funny guy.
