RenFest 2010!

Warning:  This is going to be a super long post including many pictures.

What a great day!! As we were leaving The Beast said "This was a really good day!"  Later he also said, as we were looking through all the picture I took, that  "We should go to this festival once a year!".  I am so thankful they enjoyed themselves.  It was very warm though.. HOT.  (yes I am sunburnt)  The Demon was not in the best of moods throughout the day.  But he survived.

 The Beast as we arrived.

The Demon as we arrived.

The first thing we did was head to look for swords for the boys.  After we found ones they  each liked, and they also picked out shields we were off to find something to do.  We then stumbled on to the dragon swing.

After they rode this, we were all getting hungry so off to find the turkey legs!!

Of course, the Demon did NOT like the turkey leg.  In fact, none of us were really too fond of them.  Since The Demon threw away his leg, he went with ole reliable....

 

(chicken tenders & fries)

After the boys ate they decided to test their strength.

Then it was a mad rush to the fire juggler!

This was a great show.  He was very funny and put on a fantastic show.  He juggled glass balls, knives, fire, and finally swallowed a sword!  After his show we then had to rush to the Joust.  THIS is what I had waited for all day.  As we waited for the Joust to begin (and we did wait.. 30 mins.. in direct sunlight.. ahhhhhhh) the boys posed with their swords and shields.

Attempting to look mean!

Well, the shirt adds to the freak out factor.

Then the Joust begins!

After the Joust we walked around some more and bought some souvenirs then we left for home.  The only thing that we didn't do, that I wanted to do, was watch the Mudde Show.  But, no regrets!

It was a wonderful, fantastical day!
