Scarborough Faire - School Days

Tuesday was Scarborough Faire School Days.   We had stayed the night in Arlington to make the drive shorter.  We rushed in and submitted her portfolio because it had a deadline of 10am.   Then she did the interview.   Then it was time for fun.  This was foam sword fighting.   They were sooo cute.  I think I got about 100 photos. 

At some point it started to rain.  It wasn't a bad rain.  Very light and it just cooled people off a bit.   They shared Tatiana's umbrellas while Kristen's mommy went to the car to get her rain jacket. 

This was a competition that they both did.   Tatiana didn't make it far.  But, the skirt didn't help.

This had been her getting her second place award.  Until the Senior First Place, she had been by far the crowd favorite.  The High School girl did have an amazing outfit. 

Tatiana had really wanted to play 'Giant Chess".   She was playing against the older boy with the black pants at the lower left of the photo.   Her daddy helped a bit.  She ended up winning.  At one point, they were both down to just a few pieces.  He had a little bit of an advantage.  Then Scotland reminded her that the pawns could become Queens if they made it to the other end.  One pawn was sacrificed to make the other a Queen.  Then it was just a matter of time.  They finished the game as they were kicking us out.  Us parents had helped to put the pieces into the nearby game store.
