Right away Jacob met the Queen!
The handsome knight is explaining the armor to the crowd. In total it adds about 100 pounds to a man's total body weight. And it's HOT.
Jacob got to hold the helmet, which weighed almost as much as he did!
These guys fought FOR REAL. Real armor, real weapons.
And so this is what frequently happened! He needed two guys to help him up.
Jacob was really paying attention to the "battles." And Daddy was kind enough to buy him a sword. So here's Jacob kicking Daddy's butt in their sword battle. (In Doug's defense, only Jacob had a shield.)
And I got a cool butterfly henna tattoo. It looks more orange there, but it's a lot darker today. It's kind of hard to take a picture of your right hand with your left if you're right-handed!
