Well, the last Rogue pulled out of here at 3:30pm on Monday (Talan). What a magical weekend we had!
Rogue started on Wednesday with Nevin, Lisa and Levi pulling in, followed by Bob and Rachel and their three new little girls, Alaina, Kiana and JJ, and then Pete and Kathryn shortly after. I knew when we had such an early crowd show up on Wednesday, the party would be grand, and grand it was!!!!
I think this was our biggest Rogue yet! The giant slide in the meadow with 3 slip n' slides were very popular with the kids, but was especially enjoyed by Pete.
The food was fantastic...taco night, surf and turf, second breakfast, shrimp galore and all the rest of it...YUM! Brandy & limes a-plenty, champagne, a Bloody Mary bar, Moscow mules, wow!
The music and celebration on Friday night was spectacular! Lots of dancing, laughter and fun! One pirate crossed the line by groping some of the ladies (and some of the men too), but the fairies took care of him (or Karma did), by stealing his glasses and a boot and gifting him with a broken ankle. Don't piss off the fairies!
Saturday brought on a fabulous game of croquet, complete with new obstacles on the course and a not-so-regulation mallet. (shame-shame Justin M.) But the adventure was worth it and Donovan (cheater) won.
The new incinitron (red right return) added more magic to the fire as did the return of the light whip and newbies dancing in a circle!
Sunday night 14 pirates remained, enjoying more music and laughter around an intimate fire. We cooked bacon over the fire on skewers (great idea Shavonne), and put our feet up for a spell, while others played glow in the dark corn hole.
We all slept in on Monday and the remaining pirates started to pack. A bottle of champagne was discovered in the fridge (thanks Christy), so Talan, Duncan and I enjoyed the bottle over memories of the SCA and previous Rogue Camps. How it has changed and grown over the years and what fun we will see in the future. This group of people are special in my heart and I am always renewed with energy and inspiration after they've gone!
The Rogue Baron and I sipped the last shot out of the enormous bottle of Honey Jack Daniels that was left behind and enjoyed the many shared adventures with each other over the weekend. We are truly lucky to know such wonderful souls and we look forward to Rogue XX next year! My heart is full!!!
Enjoy the photos...which are in no particular order!
