A Small Afternoon Jaunt

A visit to a small town on an incredibly beautiful day.

A really cute section of town with small indie stores that sell odds and ends.
There was a swimming area further down.
There was a teeny tiny amusement park for what looks like ages 6 and under. That clown garbage can was slightly frightening.
Little rocket ship ride.
A tiny merry go round. The only amusement park we wanted to go to is a 6 hour drive away, and we decided (I guess) to wait until next year. There are adult sized amusement parks in our vicinity but they’ve lost their luster years ago.

We had some visitors once…
When you’re stuck and can’t find a good foothold
Too bad they don’t let you climb to the crow’s nest
Life rule: when in doubt, always choose chocolate!
The modern girls’ playroom.
Harvard: where people play chess at night for fun!
This is what happens when you let basil grow and grow and grow and grow…

I didn’t know there was a competition for that

Sometimes I come across a sport/activity that one would never think would be at the level of world championship, or even a regular championship for that matter.

The Slippery Stairs Championship

World Chase Tag – yup, the old schoolyard game has a championship.

National Air Guitar Championship – maybe the least surprising, but I didn’t expect that one could even judge air guitar in order to pick a winner.

Dods Championship – looks like the opposite of Olympic diving.

Ostrich racing. I knew you could ride on them!

And my favorite, the medieval knight fights. There are many videos of this new (old) form of MMA. It looks like no matter how strong/big you are, it’s still going to be an exhausting endeavor.
