Renaissance Festival

HUZZAH!!!

I have wanted to take the kids to the Renaissance Festival for several years but never seem to find the time.  The kids didn't know what to expect but they were excited to go see what it was like.  Justin had to work that Saturday and we were sad he couldn't come.  I decided to leave Grant with my mom since Justin couldn't come with us.  Just to make the day a bit easier.

From the very get go the kids were in Awe!

We all loved the people in costumes!

They really enjoyed the jousting show!

I love spending time with my kids away from the busyness of everyday life!

We all loved the cheering and booing!

The kids really got into cheering for our guy!

It was a beautiful February day!

The kids loved all the buildings......

And Logan was thrilled to get his turkey leg.

It's about as big as his head!

They loved all the hands on activities.

Kiersten got pretty good at this game!

The trampoline sling shot is always a hit with the kids.

We enjoyed all the yummy treats of the renaissance! 

What a fun tree man!

This is one of my favorite treats.....can't go wrong with chocolate covered strawberries!

One of our most favorite shows was this acrobatic act.

Not only were they funny but amazing skills as well.

WOW!!

The kids had a great time making their wax hands!

They were amazed at the process it took to finally finish their wax hands.

My knights practicing their skills.

Logan looks like he is out for blood in this picture!

I let the kids each pick one thing to buy......they all picked these dragons.

We wanted to try each and every yummy foo.d at the Renaissance but we didn't come close.  Guess there is always next year.

These pirates were awesome so we had to take a picture with them!

The kids liked going on this huge dragon slide.........they think Grant would love it as well!

So many fun things to do here.

As we were leaving this fairy was playing her flute. 

 She gave each of the kids a magic stone and fairy dust which they loved!

It was such a fun day and I think we might make it a tradition.  It was an easy day trip, but next year we are hoping Justin can come with us!

I just love doing fun things with my kiddos!
