Huzzah!

This weekend we took the kids to their first renaissance faire! Dorothy and I have been to a number of faires in California and one in New York, but this was our first time at King Richard's Faire in Carver Massachusetts. Max and Lauren had a hard time focusing on any one thing but they still had a great time with what they did see. We got to see a wild animal show and the first jousting tournament of the day, as well as go on a self-powered ship ride a giant maze with a slide. (What else could a child as for?)

Dorothy and I both went in full garb again this year. We recently bought a pirate costume for Lauren for Halloween, which worked out wonderfully for her at the faire. My goodness she looked adorable! Max had some baggy pants and a pirate belt with leather pouches hanging from it just like his daddy. (I will have to make him a nice shirt for faire before next year.) Unfortunately I didn't get many good photos of the kids in the faire itself, but they really hammed it up on the stage outside the front gate on the way out.
