This weekend we went to a Renaissance
fair. The Sherwood Forest Faire is located about 50 minutes east of
us, and I do like a good Ren fair, so we decided to check it out.
Turns out it's WAY bigger and cooler than I thought it would be.
Huge area, hundreds of vendors...we didn't even get to see all the
stuff there was to see.
They had a petting zoo! I liked that
part a lot. Two petting zoos in two weeks! I must be doing
something right with my life. This one had a camel, which was nice
and soft, and a little small. There were some pot-bellied pigs, too.
Tiny and adorable. I liked checking out the vendors, too. Enough
costuming to choke a moose, but I didn't pick any of it up. I don't
actually have much of a use for it, and I'd feel a bit of a faker
walking around with a cool knife or sword without having the rest of
the garb to go with it. Same with tankards. Cool, but I don't drink
enough. Anyway, there was a lot of artistry going on all over the
place.
Tyler liked all sorts of stuff. He
spent a good long time playing in the dirt, which was pretty great.
We also got to see a falconry demonstration, archery, fire eating
(with real fire!) and a glass blower. Not to mention all the people
in costumes. Tyler liked the costumes, lamenting that he didn't have
one of his own. One of the vendors was selling a child-sized set of
leather armor. I considered it.
Roughly 5 weeks until baby Casey
arrives. She's had a couple episodes of seriously intense kicking
that seems to go on for a really long time. I wonder what she's
doing in there?
