Stronghold Castle Part 2

Nate and Jason dressed in their jester costumes for the first part of Friday evening.
They did some juggling for us.
After feasting in the Great Hall, we had an English Country Dance. These two siblings, Gretchen and Nate, did a wonderful job explaining and calling the dances.

The Kalebaugh girls had never danced before, but they caught on quickly.
The twins, Rachel and Becky.
Crystal and I
Some of the parents even joined in the fun!
Mr. Kalebaugh, Kelli, Sandy, and Crystal
" Back to back with your partner."
We had many more girls than guys, so any girl taking the guy's role tied a strip of cloth on their arm to help make the dancing a little less confusing!
Notice Jason is now dressed as a fine lord of the realm
instead of a jester--much more elegant for dancing. Bristol and Samantha W. were also new to ECD, but they really enjoyed it.
Mrs. Kalebaugh looks like she's not quite sure she performed that move correctly.Melody, Beth B, and MomRianna and Josiah C, Aaron B, and Dawn B

Mandie C, Jacob B, Becky K, and Michael C
"The Physical Snob"

After dancing, we split up into teams to begin the hunt for our Clue cards. The clues led us all over the castle. This one was a crossword puzzle. Hidden in each location was one of our Clue game cards.

Once each team found their cards, they returned to the Great Hall to begin the game of Live Clue.
Planning our next move on the game board...
Deciding who to call...
Before the evening came to a close, we had everyone who was in costume line up for a group picture.
We had so many girls, we couldn't fit them all in one picture!
Jason, Larry P, Dad, Nate S, Aaron B, Sam K, Blake P.
Silly siblings
Crystal said the first picture was a more accurate depiction of who we are, but we can look somewhat normal some of the time! I borrowed this pic from another family's blog. I didn't have one of my parents together. And now for a few random photos.

Crystal I'm not quite sure what she's doing!

Overlooking the river...

This was how our evening ended--waiting for our turn to get ready for bed. When you stay in a room with 10 females, it takes a while! Tired, Beck?...and waiting...
Part 3 coming soon!
