This past Tuesday we went to a weekly "Fighters Practice" at Reid Park with our friends Russell and Stephanie and their new baby, Mina. It's put on by the local SCA (Society for Creative Anachronisms), and is basically a free event for people to dress up like they're in the Middle Ages and fight with swords.
One of the requirements to fight is that you wear a cup, and since Galen doesn't own one, he just sat out and watched with Mom, Steph, Mina, and me. Russell and Dad though geared up, cups and all, and practiced their rapier skills. No one-on-one combat this week, but maybe next week. Dad's fencing skills will definitely come in hand.
