Oh, get over yourself, GUEST. You can't pretend that everyone in every pasttime or profession doesn't get a little exasperated now and again. It seems to me that Rapaire's nieces were trying to be humorous, and tourists know when they're being ribbed. I DO appreciate that people bring their kids out, and I'm not snotty with them, ever. (FYI, the reenactors accused each other of being "farby"--tourists were exempt because, of course, they were not in costume. You can't be farby if you're not in costume.)

Fantastic pix, Rapaire, but I could never get my dog to work that hard ;-)   I have friends who do "mountain-man" reenactments, too, and its a load of fun to see them in full buckskins.
