They were having a medieval day with all sorts of fun. There was fencing demonstrations, dancing, music, games, story time, archery, and falconry demonstrations.
Quite a grand entrance! This is the field where they showed us a lot of wonderful birds, like owls, hawks, eagles & falcons. 
An bald eagle.
It was so neat, having the birds fly right overhead. This lady would swing around a "bird"(actually it's some wings with a pouch attached. The pouch has some raw chicken inside for the hawk to eat once he has caught, or hit, the "bird")
This eagle came to the centre from a zoo in Quebec that closed down.
This is a Golden eagle. As much as it is amazing to see these birds up close, it is still awful to see them tied up. I thought it was interesting to learn that the birds are also sent to the land fills once in a while to control the rodents and seagulls there.
Me and Mary learning a dance. Later on we all joined in to learn a different dance. It was fun.
Oh, no, Heather is in the stocks! Now how will she eat her lollipop?!
Trinity is playing a game. She had to toss a wet sponge through one of the spaces in the castle.
Grace is doing battle. She totally won. Yay, Grace!
