Yay! We finally got to go again! We went to the Renaissance Faire a few years ago and had a blast, but we haven't found the time to go again for a couple years. This year, I actually found the time to make a few costumes for the kids. I ran out of time before mine was done, but next year...it's on!
All the usual Ren Faire excitement was had. Fencing, eating, drinking, crossbows, and jousting. We saw a mock battle between the Saxon's and Celts, but Tom says that William the Conqueror took over in 1100 so by 1500 (when the Renaissance Faire is set) it would be the English and the Irish, so he was irritated. But it was a pretty good battle anyway.

We watched "Midsummer Nights Dream", some Kung Fu demonstration, and some Indian dancing. I guess they were branching out from the English Renaissance. As usual, there were some pretty colorful characters there, as well as a wide variety of cleavage for the world to see. Seriously, some of them looked a little uncomfortable.
The best show we saw was a couple guys that said they had a Russian Circus and then they didn't show, so they did the whole circus themselves. It was hilarious!

Next year, we have to plan the day better so we can see more of the shows. And I'm going to start working on costumes. I think we should go Scottish. "If it's not Scottish it's crap!" Can't you just see the boys decked in kilts. They are SO excited! This year they almost had wives but they blew it. :))
