So I have been a very bad blogger lately!! And I am so behind, yikes. Call me lazy but there really is no other explanation.
Last weekend we went to the Renaissance festival with Jess and Jaime. Jess was one of my roommates in college and one of the best gals ever! And Jaime is her sister who is also a lot of fun, and is now Jess's roomie. I have decided that Ren fest in the mountains is very enjoyable with the scenery and such, however the wind was awful and we all had dirt in our eyes, hair, clothes, well everywhere!
I enjoy the costumes and fancy outfits, this was one of the best fairies I have seen. Next year I may have to be a fairy!
Belly Dancers! Kaiden needs to see these gals, he is one and has some amazing belly moves already.
Swords!
Just before I grabbed this picture there elephants were entwtining thier trunks, it was so cute, but I missed it. I don't know if they were fighting or loving, but it was cute either way!
Jaime bought a couple of fun victorian corsets, here she is modeling for us. We convinced her she must wear it for the rest of the day! When else would you get to wear a corset around and totally fit in?
I gave Jess an apple from my bag and the horse loved it! He practically swallowed it whole, then green apple juice came spewing out of his mouth!
Playing with pirates, Jack Sparrow did make an appearance at the festival.
Victorian sisters being cute! They are both so tiny, of course they couldn't breath or laugh in those things.
Matt shooting arrows at hay bales.
Acrobats juggling swords while standing on one another!
Matt trying to win $5, if you climb this ladder (which they forget to tell you is impossible to do) you win the prize.
Matt was very good, but he ended up falling into the hay...
More acrobats
Irish music
Fun water wheel, I thought it was picturesque.
One must try on armor at the Ren fest!
And fun hats!
Now this was probably the coolest and most unique thing there. This guy calls himself Casting Bronze. He has taken bronze bells and made this instrument that he plays with hand and foot pedals. It was pretty amazing actually. Here is a link to a video on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0PGGQbtyXg
The Ren Fest would not be complete without a good jousting! We rooted for the bad guy even though we knew he would die, how is it he dies every year?
