St. George's Day at Wrest Park

Some of us guys enjoying the show

A few weeks ago Joe and Zac went to an event at Wrest Park....and were going to be away for the whole weekend. They left on the Friday and on the Saturday we all decided to go and suprise them! So we packed up a big lunch and got everything together to leave around 8:00am the following morning. The drive there went fine up until we ended up putting the GPS on for the last part of the journey. Dad doesn't like doing this and tries to avoid them wherever he can*. It took us down into a village for no reason and led us down onto some strange country roads until we finally arrived...an hour later than we should've been! *case of point!

But anyway Zac and Joe were both very pleased to see us and we all had a great day enjoying the displays. Have a guess who we saw there too...George Clarkson!(Channel 4) Not only that, but he bought a sword from Joe too. How cool is that?!

The displays were all very good and we learn't a few things about Horse Riding Side Saddle and I think everyone enjoyed the jousting too, and the main event 'George and the Dragon.'

After having a lovely day we had to get home, and Joe and Zac arrived back home a bit later on in the evening. One thing that our family has realized over the years is that we do 'crazy'...quite well!
