Whoppers and Beasties

These boys of mine teach me a thing or too,especially when it comes to doing 'boyish' stuff like throwing sticks...

Today we went to the forest,it was the Robin Hood Festival,so a lot of Robin Hood Theme things was going on ~ jousting,archery etc
we had a wander through through the woods and that's where the 'beasties and whoopers' started


We wandered well off the main path and into the forest


And Chipmunk decided to throw sticks


All I could hear was

"Look at this beastie"

And then Chipmunk would launch a stick into the trees


and another stick and another and another

This got Sharky interested...


and he too began to search out interesting sticks ~ the bigger the better ~ 'whoppers and beasties'





And then Chipmunk found a real whopper,it was infact a tree root and it was stuck in the ground.

"There's no way you can get that one" I said.

Er wrong think again mum...


Yep they got it out and wanged it deep into the ferny undergrowth


We nearly missed the jousting


But the stick throwing was precious indeed ~ boys and sticks!

  1. Fab photos! Looks like you had a good day :)

    Was it Sherwood Forest? Do you live close by? We're not far from there - about 20 min drive.
