Renaissance Festival

I have never been to a renaissance festival. Isn't that sad? I mean, I'm a drama major! But Alablama didn't have a lot of cultural experiences like that. I went to see a lot of plays but never went to a festival. So I was excited to be able to go to the one here in Maryland. It's HUGE!!! We had a blast! We went with my Aunt Nancy b/c she is wonderful and does so much for our family. She's fun to go places with b/c she pretty much likes everything and has done everything at least once. I took loads of pics b/c it was just so much fun. My kids were enamored. nancy is pretty smart and showed up at our house with 4 foam swords and shields she had picked up from Target who knows when. This was the best thing she could've done. Those boys did not put those swords down for a second! Zech even got cast in a little play b/c he already had his own prop and was in "character". :) Yes, I was a little proud...EXTREMELY!!!

Zechariah's 1st stage debut!

Being a pirate and saying, "Arg! Give me all your treasure" to which he adlibbed, "or I'll cut you through". The performer was quite impressed.

New form of time out anyone?

I love that they could do this anywhere and everywhere. Awesome!

A joust! Hazzah for England!

 A picture with Aunt Nancy, a rare treat.

Our clan.

Is he not to die for? This was on our way to the festival. Elijah was ready!

It was a great day. We all had a blast and if we are here next year, we will definately go again! But next year, I will have to dress up in costume :)
