The break was tonight.
It was frankly amazing.
It was down on Wembley, and the first thing you saw when you came around the corner was a 36-ft long castle that was 12 feet high. It looked so good. Nancy and I were the peasants patrolling the top, which was a tad sketchy and wobbly. I was afraid they were going to bang on it or knock into it and then down we would go with a wooden castle atop. Anyway, peasants from the gold team stormed our castle--we were green, obviously--and they killed the peasants out front. Two retreated inside the castle and shut the drawbridge, and then the other peasants battered it down with a huge tree ram. It was so scary when they slammed the drawbridge! I just held my breath and clung to the top. Nothing happened, fortunately. Then some knights came dashing in and our green knights came out to defend. Nancy and I threw 'rocks' and I have no idea what all down on the attacking knights and then we just ducked below and watched the rest. They shot flaming arrows and everything. After quite a lengthy battle, they retreated and the king and queen rode out on horses to announce color war!
We had a fireworks show that was incredible. I have never seen some of the fireworks we had. They were very Harry Potter-esque, some of them. Amazing!
It was a chilly evening, but my peasant garb kept me quite warm and toasty. It also provided a good knee cushion for me to kneel on. Climbing back down the scaffolding was interesting...I got my foot stuck once, but I didn't fall and break anything.
Tomorrow is my very last day off. That is so strange. We have one week left. I can't believe it.
Color war is always relaxing, so I'm looking forward to everything. It sort of smooths over any rough patches the girls have been having.
