I heard shouting yesterday and went out to investigate. I found bodies littering the ground and fierce fighting happening.
Don't worry, it wasn't an attack from African rebels. It was an attack of......
the LARPers!
Don't know what a LARPer is? I'm embarrassed that I do but that is what happens when you not only marry a Geek but have 6 beautiful little geeklings with him.
Anyway, LARP stands for Live Action Role Play. Apparently people get into it big time with costumes and weekend shebangs to do the whole Role Playing thing.
My kids were bored and decided to create their own version and get the nannies involved too. Below is the photographic evidence.
Team 1 planning a strategy
Team 2 defending the high ground
And the battle begins!
The battle rages on as Team 1 mounts a steady attack
And Benard is down again.
But what really stands out to me in this picture is the two women in back.
Christine and Foster really got into the game.
Go get her, Christine!
I don't think you can beat my son for competitiveness though.
Take a look at this picture:
Everyone was fine after the game with only a few small cuts and bruises to show for all the fun.
I will never understand the appeal of a game where the highlight is getting hurt.
Hope your weekend is fun and a little more peaceful.
