We saw it!! We saw it!! I guess we should have taken a picture though..

We of course just thought it was a faire prop though, never realized someone would just bring a thing like that with them. Cool!!

Tree Buckets for everyone!!!

*pick jaw up from ground* No way! (Way.) :)

I left around 5pm and didn't see it, though admittedly I was focused on finding my car and it's air-conditioned interior. (Bad Apple, for not taking care to keep cool that day. I'll do better next time.)

re: the title - you've apparently not been cracked in the shins by an overzealous child and one of those swords. *ouch*

I would have loved to have seen this thing. I wonder what Carolyn thought (assuming that she saw it).

well, my title was meant to read sarcastic. i hate the damn things, too, and twice had to break up a "fight" on the verge of causing a real fight.

On the bright side, I saw *two* different parents (one mother, one father - not the same families) tell their kids to stop hitting the trees with their swords yesterday. So apparently there are at least a *few* sensible parents out there... think there's even a vague chance the trend might continue?
