Fort Ouiatenon

pronounced wee-ah-tu-naan
Otherwise known as Feast of the Hunter's Moon, in Lafayette, IN.  From the website: "The Feast of the Hunters' Moon is a re-creation of the annual fall gathering of the French and Native Americans which took place Fort Ouiatenon, a fur-trading outpost in the mid - 1700s. It is held annually in early autumn on the banks of the Wabash River, four miles southwest of West Lafayette, Indiana."

She was tired... not asleep, but tired.  We left the house at 5:30am since they are an hour ahead of us.

They wanted to do school outside anyway :)

Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament



We had lots of fun!  We went YEARS ago, 2006, so we forgot most of it.  They have horse demonstrations, a falcon demonstration and of course the skills of the knights :)  It's a WONDERFUL show!  And, a WONDERFUL meal!

Christian is now 15yo. Where DOES the time go?!?!






























Full disclosure, being 15yo does not necessarily mean you are smart...
Mom does not fold socks, and neither does Christian.  He just throws them all in his drawer and pulls out as needed.  He grabbed different socks.  Mom questioned him about it, and he really didn't see anything wrong with wearing these as a pair!  I made him change... LOL
