    They look peaceful sitting there. If they suddenly came at me screaming, I would probably turn and run. :D That axe on the table looks menacing.

    lol, thanks,,, I told them they looked like they wanted to skin me! they both nodded...

    Actually the axe was the weapon of choice other than the sword. Most axes usually were as or close to how tall the man was.

    Sunglasses on the table, KB's fatigues, Josh's wrist watch and the zipper on KB's jacket....nah, sorta blows the whole Viking thing out of the water. :D

    But they are cute trying to look fierce. ;)

    lol,, modern vikings,, modern vikings,,lol.

    I told Josh before he went back that I wanted pics of the guys with their uniforms on and the play viking kits,, he said, if i take a pic of them, they might try to use those swords, and make them work,,,,,,but he's going to try.

    The kids kits were for the guys children to be sent back to them.
