Yesterday was my older daughter's school class trip to Medieval Times in Maryland. I was lucky enough to have been chosen to be one of the chaperones. I've been intrigued by the jousting themed dinner theater for quite a while, but hadn't yet had an opportunity to visit. It was fun, though the show was a bit more campy than I expected. On the other hand, the food was better than I would have thought. Our waiter joked with the kids as he served us, "Here's your baby dragon leg (tastes exactly like chicken!)". The kids all had fun cheering for their favorite knights and booing the evil knight. Not a bad way to spend a day with the kids.
The afternoon ended with a surprisingly strong thunderstorm that arrived just as I was cooking dinner. I happened to look out the window to see that a large limb had fallen off a tree across the street, damaging a neighbor's fence and blocking half the street. The neighbors were clearly trying to figure out how to move it so it wasn't a traffic hazard, so I went out to the shed and got my chain saw. It only took about five minutes to trim the limb back to that it was out of the road, but I was thoroughly drenched. The entire time I was out there, lightning kept flashing all around us, and I was a bit nervous that we'd get struck, so I didn't finish cutting up rest of the limb. I'll have to go back over this afternoon and finish cutting the limb up into pieces small enough to move, so they can clear up the rest of the mess.
