Renaissance Festival

Aaron feel asleep after 4 hours of walking around. He is also sick so he was crying a lot :) poor baby.


Towards the end of the day the kids got a little restless and were having their own fun by rolling down the hill instead of watching the knights performing.



The kids having fun playing with some sticks, they are kind of tricky but fun.


We went through a Magical Garden and the kids were posing for me





















My favorite picture is the one where my Mom and I are posing with Conan, and also the kids making funny faces while their heads were cut off. There is a picture of Shayna jumping on a trampoline while attached to some bungee cords and going really high up.


As most of you know my family is very into Knights, swords, castles and things like that. When we lived in Virginia we used to go to the Renaissance Festival as much as we could. Now that we live in Texas we discovered that they have this huge festival here and decided to go. We have been waiting for months now and were very happy to go esterday. We were happy to take my Mom with us this time, since she has never been to one of those before. Steven and Amber came with Olivia too. We had a wonderful and long day walking around, watching shows, letting the kids try a few games and walking some more... we had the famous Turkey Legs (yum!!!) and some expensive slushies. We were amazed at the wonderful outfits people wore and were trying to get some ideas for next year. I wanted to dress up but at the end I decided to wait until next year, when everybody can have something to wear. The theme for yesterday was 1001 Dreams and there were all sorts of fairies: ladies, kids and guys??? It was lots of fun and better than the one in Virginia. The music was awesome and there were lots of stores to go in and look around and we wished we could buy everything. We spent about seven and a half hours there and then we went home with a bunch of tired kids. When we came home we watched my favorite movie in the whole wide world "Braveheart" (without the kids of course) and that made the entire day seem more special.

I didn't even know they had such things. Looks fun. That is Shawn's favorite movie too.

It looks like you guys had a blast!! What fun things they had to do there! I've never been to the Virginia/Maryland one, but it looks like this one is even better...
