I can totally see why this would be the kids' favorite activity. My kids would enjoy this and would probably be somewhat therapeutic for them. So happy that your kids got to experience this and one they probably won't forget for a long time. Who knew poo could be used as a killing accessory? ;-) Mary {The World IS A Book}http://www.theworldisabook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-61636202416529903702014-09-06T12:09:09.063-05:002014-09-06T12:09:09.063-05:00I can see why this gladiator school was your kids&...I can see why this gladiator school was your kids' favorite part of the trip. It definitely looks like a lot of fun for them. I'm glad Keith didn't think of this; otherwise he would drag me into it and I'd make a fool of myself. I think I rather do the anthropology group. That tactic of dipping the sword in a poo sounds yucky but genius.
