Back to the Renaissance

... Kates and I had a full slate of plans today. I was going to work in the yard, take my car in for an oil change, take her bike in for some repairs. Kates was going to do some cleaning around the house. And then we hoped to get in a movie or something tonight ...

Yeah, all that was blown apart about 9 this morning when her cousin Jessi and Aunt Ruth called to say they were on their way down to the Renaissance Faire and they were inviting us to come along ...

What the heck, I said. Kates and I already had tickets; we just hadn't set a weekend to use them ...

So off we went ... to enjoy lots of good food (turkey legs!), jousting, sword fights, people on stilts, comedy, shopping, and good-old fashioned fun ... We bantered with crazy sheriff and watched the Angels of the Forest. We saw Moonie the Magnificent, Dick & Guido: The Swordsmen!, Barely Balanced Acrobats (funny and amazing!, my favorite of the day), and of course, the mud show ...

Here are some of my images from the Faire ...
