In fact almost every place we walked to lended itself to another picture

Sir Joshua the Fearless

Sir Jonathan the Noble

Lady Emma the compassionate

Sharing with passerby's why we were dressed up and the importance of remembering days gone by

"There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage. " Martin Luther

Ma mère embrasse mon père.

Can you believe this is only three families?

After enjoying the beautiful weather, walking, and fellowship...

We headed...

... back to the Flynns for more :-)... as well as some fencing

"Why are you smiling?" "Because I know something you don't know." "And what is that?" "I... am not left-handed." ~Princess Bride

Lady in White ~ Sounds like the name of a painting... looks like one too

Talented sword play... one balancing on a beam, the other not looking

Victory or death!

Old and new combined, "jousting" with scabbards and kids bikes

Amanda and I taking a turn with the swords, along with a good dose of medicine: "A merry heart does good, like medicine..."

"Drop. Your. Sword."

The Thomas children remnant :-)

Sir Matthew the Wise and Chivalrous and Sir Micaiah the Generous

On guard!

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."

"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men."
Samuel Adams

"The faith of the church must be tried by God's word, and not God's word by the church; neither yet my faith." Lady Jane Grey

"I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess. " Martin Luther

"Let every man of whatsoever craft or occupation he be of … serve his brethren." William Tyndale ~ Peter is such a great example of serving and caring for others.

Later after church some families went for a swan boat ride

"Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness" John Calvin

Those of us who didn't ride on the swan boats watched from the bridge

talking with them until we were...

...going...

...going...

...going...

gone!

"Friends are flowers in the garden of life"

Attacked by "The Things"... What are we going to do?

"Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong."

Thus ends our wonderful July4th weekend. Farewell, My friends... Stand Fast!

Update...

A blog post will be coming soon... due to preparing for the fourth of July weekend and my computer currently not working I have been unable to post. As soon as I get my computer to work I will try and post.

Until then, au revoir! Have a blessed week!
