OMG!! IT'S A BOX!

Brian's Battle Wounds

Yesterday Brian had his first fighters practice with the SCA. I forgot to take my camera but I will next time so everyone can see pictures! He was all dressed up in full armor, helmet, shield, and sword. Brian fought for about two hours and was really tired, sore, and a little black and blue afterward!

Weekend Walks

Back in April, Flagstaff enacted a pet quarantine because of an outbreak in rabies. Well after these past few months of being stuck in our tiny apartment, Mowgli has gone crazy! He is more wild than normal! So to ease his frustration and to let Duma and Miss Chloe have some fun, Brian and I have been taking the cats on weekend walks! It's really cool because all three cats will following us around! Even Miss Chloe who was always Miss Independent! Brian and I will walk to certain grassy areas around our building, take a seat and all the cats just roam the same area as us! All three have been loving the outside time! Last night I caught Miss Chloe sitting by the door like it was time to go outside! And as you'll see from the pictures below Mowglie has been relieving all his excess energy!!

Cuddling does the body good!

SCA

Today Brian, Chase (he is in town for a visit), and I went out to see the SCA War. SCA is a role playing group(they call it a membership club). The event was called the Highland Wars and has been going on since Wednesday. Everyone camps out and some people have really cool old style pavilions. It was actually very cool, in a very nerdy way! Chase and Brian both want to join! The site wasn't open for visitors but we did end up getting a free tour and got to see some of the fighting and visit the merchants. Everyone was really nice and it was lots of fun! I want to join just to wear the fun costumes! But this is not a cheap hobby. Some people send thousands of dollars on clothes, weapons, and traveling to different events. I was told the old style pavilions start at $2,000.00!

Lazy mornings....

Introducing Miss Chloe! Every morning she basks in the morning sun for a good hour!



And of course the Baby Duma also spends her mornings sleeping in! That is our dresser she is burrowed under!

Summer School

Brian started summer school yesterday and Mr. Mowgli just can't stand to be left behind....
