Champions - 2nd SCA Event

Champions was just like it was last year - Rainy. Walter had made a drive over to the Stanwood-Camano Is. Fairgrounds to see how they looked this year and just like last year the grounds were very soggy and had large standing puddles. Gleefully instead of camping at the fair grounds we extended our own backyard to all our SCA friends and their friends and threw a BBQ after the event for our friend Jason's birthday. It was a lot of fun.
Walter got to fight in the tournament and I think felt very satisfied with his 5 wins and 6 losses (?).
Padon looked so cute in his garb.

But between the cold, sounds of the shields clashing, and the guys walking back and forth to report the wins and losses Padon couldn't get comfortable and stay asleep long enough to have a satisfying nap. His face started to look more and more like this

And so Padon and I went home early so he could get in a good nap before people started coming over.

Overall it was a great time and huge thanks for Jane for taking pictures. I would have missed having a picture of Padon in his garb AGAIN! And he looks so cute!
