It was during camp.  The two units were Woodside and Lakeside.  I was at lakeside that week.  It was during the "Great Unit Games" on "Wild Wednesday".  Woodside had four flags and would show off in front of Lakeside.  We had nothing.  Things looked bleak.  Then we came up with an idea.

Some people gathered what they could find that made noise, a cowbell and an airhorn.  A friend and I went and built two flags.  We also got our horses ready.  Some friends provided swords.  Another made kilts for us.  We got ready for the biggest show that occured during the "Great Unit Games".

A friend and I dressed in our kilts and mounted our horses.  We got our flags ready and rode out onto the field while two people with swords drawn and wearing kilts walked in front of us.  The Lakeside unit gave a loud cheer as we handed off our flags and galloped around.  The cowbell was ringing, the airhorn was going off, and the crowd roared as we rode around.

We lost the games but it was one thing that I will never forget from my experience working there.

Sir Percy Blakney

Hello. This is Katy, Percy's sis. (My mother posted about what is going on if you will please read the post below this when you are done viewing the pictures) I have taken over this blog until Perce updates again. (don't worry, I got permission ;) I know that people would love see pictures, and so, thanks to my grandfather, I shall provide some:

My grandfather and Percy (like Percy's hair-do? ;) lol

And below are a few of the horses he works with...

Percy obviously went to a museum too.

Enjoy the pictures! Be sure to comment! (and tell him to call me please ;)

Apparently Sir Percy is too busy to call home, and when he did this last time, he asked if he could stay longer.  "Of course not," I said.  "You have to get your wisdom teeth removed before school starts."  Of course I was thinking that it serves him right since he has barely contacted his poor ma-ma in the two months since he has been away.  He should have some compassion on my poor nerves!

There have been many situations that have led our family into a chorus of "That reminds me of Trey," or "I wish Trey was here to see this."  I realize he's busy, working hard, hanging out with many new friends, and generally pretty tired,  but I do hope he knows how much he's been missed and how we are counting the days (six to be exact) before his return. 

Upon his return, I will be sure to instruct him to fill in the details of his adventure in hot, humid Mississippi.  Thanks to those of his good friends who continue to check on his blog.  Enjoy the rest of your summer and God bless.  Lady Blakeney
