Now DJ can say he beat his Dad at chess at Crater Lake.

In case you were wondering where Amanda's hair went, it went to Florida.

The dreaded villians (l to r: Ben, Asael, DJ, and Lyman) from Mastering Knighthood Summit!

William is the second blurry Knight from the left.

Some innocent spectators at the epic battle.
