The Renaissance Fair


This weekend, we decided to take the girls to the Renaissance Fair. I had always heard very good things and was told that our girls would absolutely love their time there. Lindsey and Morgan decided to come along which made it even more exciting. Alexandra and Isabel were in aww to see a whole land of kings, princesses, and fairies. No questions were asked when we gave them the ok to wear their "dress up" clothes and they got quite a bit of attention for doing so. There were a number of shows.. some of the highlights were the acrobats, gypsies, dirt fighting, and even a jousting match! The jousting match was very action packed as it got very bloody! Alexandra did not want to leave! We practically had to drag her out of the park at closing time. It definately made for a fun filled day.. it was like being in a different world for a short time!





Eww la-la.. guess who?
Maidens with the pirate
Jousting tournament w/ the Queen! One part of the match req'd the horse and knight to jump over a circle of flames. Alexandra turns to us and says, "wow.. they were almost incinerated"!
These acrobats were amazing.. remind me of the Chinese

We couldn't resist this picture. This gentleman clearly couldn't deny the beauty of fair maiden Lindsey!!

That looks like a lot of fun, especially the jousting. What a fun day for the girls to be able to feel like real princesses. =D Now I'm going to have that Pennsylvania Rennaissance Fair song in my head all day...
