The Stinson and Culver famlies gathered together at Mark's house on November 9th, 2008 to do some crafting, and create padded swords for the kids activities at Lightning Across the Plains 2009. Mark, Jennifer, Nathan, Elizabeth, and Joshua Stinson and Adam, Tracy, Bodhi, Lance, and Zane Culver were all there. The Culvers even brough their dog Odin over to meet Skoll, the Stinson's dog!

Jennifer, cutting some runes...


Tracy, extremely proud of her clay incense burner.


Adam, assembling one of the padded swords...Zane hamming it up.


Mark, working on padded swords as well.


Little Joshua got in on the act, making stuff out of clay.


Bodhi was working on a school project, due the next day.


Zane, still flashing the Peace sign. :-)


Joshua, making his eyes turn upside-down, using a plexiglass clay roller.


Skoll, getting beat up by Odin.


Skoll never really gave up, but we all agreed he should have.


Mark, hanging out with Odin.


Joshua absolutely loves Odin, and Odin tolerates Joshua.


Adam, making a padded sword for grown-ups.


Every kid at Lightning Across the Plains will get to fight and spar with a padded sword, and then they'll get to take their sword home with them. We made 10 of them...and we have 10 more to make.


Joshua, sneaking up on Adam for a lethal blow.
