Festival of Khonsu! Nov. 20

-Okay everyone, I've been a busy person and haven't updated in FOREVER. Just bear with me.-

What a Night!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The festival of Khonsu was SOOOO fun!! We were going to start off with a court case for Trey, but of course, he weaseled his way out of it. What a disgrace.  His face is now the face of shame. Ok, just kidding, but seriously.



"Khonsu!"



Setting aside that Trey is a criminal and skipped court, The rest of the festival was awesome. Of course, we were all to busy having fun to bother taking pictures, but luckily, we took 3!!! We started the festival awaiting Trey, who, just in case you missed it, never came. We decided to make light of the situation though, by having a mock trial, with Fiona as the criminal. F.U.N. Next, while i prepared the festival ceremony by writing down what I was going to say in Egyptian, everyone sort of ran around, causing chaos and practicing for the nerf gun war to come.

Next, we ate our pizza meal. We also ate some yummy pork that Fiona brought.

"Khonsu!" rattle

After our feasting, we began the festival ceremony. In the moon light, we made a procession. At the head, Khonsu, and Fiona, followed by Roy carrying the incense and candle, Jacob with the religious scripts, Gayle with the drum,..... and sorry, my memory fails me here. We trecked around the house three times stepping in time with the drum, and every fourth beat saying, "Khonsu!". Then we all faced the moon and i read the scripts. Then, the ceremony began to get goofy. We marched around in a circle, then ran around the circle to the increasing tempo of the drum beat, and then we all ran into each other! Gayle went rolling across the ground with the drum crashing behind her, a few of us fell down into the grass, we were all dizzy,and the candle wet out. We decided it was time to go inside.



About to attack



You would think that was it, but no! We were ready for the spectacle of the night, the nerf gun war! We divided ourselves up into teams and divided the basement. It was Jacob, Ashleigh, and Gayle against Gemma, Roy, and Fiona. Teryn decided to just watch. We turned up some music, turned out the lights, loaded our guns, and began the war!!! Gayle and I were commanding our great team, and used our best battle strategies. Just in case there are spies out there, we are with holding our strategies. Anyways, the war waged on for an hour with Pharaoh's team in the lead! We took all of the other team's weapons and took some of their team mates captive. Anyways, the Pharaoh's team won!!!



Even after the war and after i drank 5 sprites, we were still ready to party. We turned out the lights again and played a hide-and-go-seek sort of game. Soon though, everyone had to leave. We had a great time.

Thank you to everyone who came!!!
