For 3 summers now we have been traveling to a friends house in Michigan in order to participate in a summer filming project. We've done Robin Hood, King Arthur, and last week Ivanhoe. Our director is "LW", a seventeen year old homeschool girl who aspires to be a movie director/actress some day. Here she is in full costume as Ivanhoe. 
This summer's cast was great!! They were prepared with their lines memorized and ready for action when called. We spent 4 days together- eating, sleeping, playing, and filming. Mr. and Mrs. W provided room and board for over 40 people. You guys are awesome!!
They also provided "limo" service to grandma's field and woods next door. It's time to squeeze! 
LittleA played Lady Rebecca and LittleE played Maid Marion. If you know the story of Ivanhoe, Robin Hood makes a small appearance. In LW's version, Maid Marion leads a band of outlaws in helping King Richard return to the throne.
Here she is in the field rehersing her lines and preparing for a scene.
Sometimes LittleA doubled as an outlaw.
Of course we did have a Robin Hood as well. Check out his real sword! And the brave knight hoping the sword really is unsharpened!!
Here's LittleE doubling as a knight. LW needed lots of extras this year in order to help make the battle scenes look more realistic.
Here is a battle scene between the King John's knights (BOO!), and the outlaws helping King Richard (YEA!).
LittleA's scenes as Lady Rebecca were much calmer. She spent much of her time waiting to be rescued from the castle.
Here's one part of the castle set up behind the barn and goat pen.
