Sherwood Forest and The Major Oak


What better way to start your day in Sherwood Forest than a moment in the stocks. Each kid had their moment to shine, too bad we didn't have any rotten food to throw. We are equal in all we do, even Cameron had a go.





We all thought the little museum about all things Robin Hood was fun, but the kids were very anxious to the see the Major Oak, where all the magic happened.


Taylor looking ever so graceful while pretending to shoot an arrow. 

Carter was a bit more stealthy. 

We just loved this tree--it was huge!


Taylor loved the owl carving, she wanted to take it home, but we couldn't fit it under our shirt to try and get it to the car.





In front of Robin Hood's hide out, the Major Oak. 


Although we loved the forest and thought old oak trees standing everywhere were pretty amazing, Mike was also a bit sad he couldn't chop stuff down to make a few neat projects.




Don't tell anyone, but we jumped a fence so we could get this picture with Cameron inside the tree. We also wouldn't have minded taking the table that was in the entrance of the Cafe home with us.
It was a fun time, and it was free the day we went, so you can't get better than that!
