Renaissance Festival
Since we had such fun at the Renaissance Festival last year, we decided to attend it again this year. It's a little spendy but a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we forgot to let Shea wear one of her many princess costumes. We lucked out on the weather though, as it was one of the coolest yet this summer, although I still managed to get sunburned. (When you live at altitude, it's really important to wear sunscreen no matter how long you think you might be out in the sun. Silly me for forgetting this! All of my worst sunburns have been from Colorado.) Anyway, I digress.
We ate turkey legs in true Renaissance style.
We shot arrows. Clark has really enjoyed archery, since trying it out at Cub Scout camp.
Of course, this meant we had to get Clark his own bow and arrows set. (Had to get a shot of him with his name. ;))
We even watched some jousting this time.
Amazingly, Shea did NOT want a princess costume from the festival. She was enamored by the somewhat scary looking gargoyle puppets, and she just had to have one.
I guess that every princess should have her very own peachy-pink gargoyle. ;)
