Renaissance Festival

The Maryland Renaissance Festival is something Dave and I have tried to go to most summers.  Both Hilde and Enoch have gone at around 6 weeks of age.  This is the only place where grown-ups can get all dressed up and still fit in.  Some people should put more clothes on, but that is the price of allowing grown-ups to dress up I guess.  This year we went with Dave's sister and her family and it was a lot of fun.  The kids loved dancing to the music, running around, playing on the little playground, riding the ponies, and watching the jousting.  The grown-ups also enjoyed watching a couple of the comedy acts and the glassblowing demonstration.  I can't wait to go again next year.  Here are some pictures:



 Phinn is completely enthralled with horses.  We walked right by the pony rides and hardly noticed them because there was line.  Let me repeat, NO LINE.  As soon as I figured that out, we all ran over to get in our ride before the masses.  Almost before we were done a long line had formed.  I was so glad we snuck in before the crowd because we would have been stuck in that line for Phinn.  he was in heaven.






 A condition of going to the Renaissance festival was that Dave had to wear his kilt.  It is an awesome kilt we bought in Edinburgh, Scotland, but there are not a whole lot of places he can wear it too.  So here he is:
 And now for the main event-----the Joust!
