A girlfriend of mine from church put on this whole Scottish/Braveheart themed party last night and it was SO fun! It was for grown-ups only and William wanted in on the action, so he went to work designing and making Ben's costume! Enjoy :)
 |
| Will printed a template off the internet for the blade, placed it on some foam board, cut it out, etc., etc.... |
 |
| The shield he made for Ben... |
 |
| A close up of the shield. He made the middle simulate wood and the exterior ring simulate metal... |
 |
| This one was the most impressive. This is paper-mache' made from cereal boxes and scrap paper... |
 |
| He sewed the kilt and put the "family crest" on the breast sash...that boy! I swear I didn't help! This was all him!!! |
 |
| Getting ready for the party... |
 |
| Holy smokes! |
 |
| I can't believe I didn't take more pictures of people's costumes :( I didn't even get a pic of the best costume winners. But this may give you an idea at least... |
 |
| The big chair :) |
 |
| That drum stick is bigger than his head! |
Ben at archery...
Me at archery...Needless to say, neither of us placed in the archery contest!
Ben did place 2nd in one of the "Feats Of Strength." This one was called, "The Island."
I didn't get a video of the guy he lost to....no exaggeration...he was at LEAST 6'6" and probably close to 300 lbs. It was SO HILARIOUS!
Anyway, we had a blast and won some fun prizes, including an edited copy of Braveheart - Our kids can finally watch with us!!! - and we can't wait til next year! Thanks Mandy :)
