Boffer Party

We had a big birthday party for the boys on Sunday. We had beautiful weather for the middle of November, which was great since we were outside. On Saturday and Monday, the highs were in the 30's or low 40's, but Sunday the high was in the 50's.

You may be wondering what a "boffer party" is. It's when you get a bunch of boys together, give them all foam swords, and let them boff each other all afternoon. There were 11 boys at the party (including ours), from the ages of 6-12. They all had lots of fun. Christopher organized lots of different games for them: 1-on-1 duels, capture the flag, protect the king, and melee. The kings had to wear funny wigs, which you can see in the pictures. A great time was had by all, and no one got hurt.
