Reformation Faire Part 3
Boffer Wars! Wow that was a ton of fun! The Dads liked it at least as much as the boys! This is another fun idea you can employ at home! We use foam tubes, and wrap them in duct tape. This keeps them from breaking easily! They can bop each other all day with these soft foam swords! For this Boffer war, they put pvc pipe inside of the foam and then wrapped it.
This was definitely one of the highlights of all of the highland games! They also threw logs, and stones and the girls played a very vintage game of hoops. The very small children played on the playground and on the swings. It was perfect weather! We couldn't have hoped for such a nice day for the event!
We promised you a link where you can watch The Adams Clan do a little of their Scottish Country Dancing. Here it is!

Reformation Faire Part 2
The Reformation Faire is a yearly event. It is held at Providence Church in Peoria, Ill., where James Mc Donald is the pastor. Perhaps you've heard of his wife Stacy McDonald who has the very popular blog; yoursacredcalling.com
The theme this year was centered around the Reformation of the 1600s and the writing of the Westminster Confession, and there were talks on the Scottish Commissioners. On top of all of the great information there were many fun activities for the kids and adults to do!
This is the sight that greets you when you arrive! It was so fun for the kids to be walking into a castle! It was really neat how they constructed it! 2x4 framing covered with a type of painted canvas! I want to try that!
Does anyone recognize this Christian brother? This is the popular Christian music artist, Nathan Clark George! The kids were as excited to see him as the adults! If you don't already know who he is, I highly recommend you looking up his music. He is amazing on the guitar!
Another of the highlights of the event were the outdoor activities. Candle making, leather punching, board games etc. As well, we did a Scottish Dance demo for everyone! It was soo fun dancing to an actual bagpiper! He was fantastic! Below is Greg Boyd the piper!
It was such an amazing time! Tomorrow I will post a youtube link of us dancing and some pics of the Boffer wars! Another fun thing your kids can do at home!

Reformation Faire 2011 Part 1
It was amazing! Where do I start? Well this will be part one, a short and sweet lesson we took from it all!
Thank you Bill Potter for this lesson! Since we do not believe in luck, but in the Sovereign and Providential care of our great God and Saviour~ instead of saying Good Luck...we say to you
Good Providence!
In case you dont know, Bill Potter is an excellent historian. He is an exceptional speaker and has much knowledge about the Bible and history and he clearly shows the Lord's Providential care for His people throughout history. He is a walking encyclopedia! As if that weren't enough he has an excellent sense of humor! Brett and our son Malachi had the blessing of having breakfast with him on Saturday morning. Brett was able to introduce some of the 'Sons of Georgia' young people, to Mr. Potter as well. That was very exciting for them all!
Part 2 soon!
