Living Life and Loving It!

This is a post with alot of pictures so beware! wait what am i talking about, i always post alot of pictures,oh well it's my blog so i can if i want too right?? RIGHT!!

today we went to Scarborough Faire and Renaissance Festival!  we had a great time with mimi and gramps, they left a little before we did but i think it might have had something to do with having to schlep my two kids around like pack mules!!

 

This was the first guy we saw when we walked in the gates!  ry was not to sure about him, and so began the schlepping!

next we were on to the parade, i really didn't know what to expect with a medieval fair and i'm still not sure to tell you the truth but it was definitely an experience!  

i didn't know that one of the requirements for bellydancing was too actually HAVE a belly

Renaissance festivals are not for those who are extremely modest (well i'm modest but...) because you see ALOT of boobs(most of which you wish you never had) and alot of bellies(all of which you wish you never had!)

this pirate(i think) was handing out treasures and ry was all about that!! and of course caroline DID NOT want to be left out on the action!

then we were off to the joust!!

the kids both had prime seats(see what i mean about the schlepping) 

the elephant ride was next and that was the part i was most excited for!!!

look at that grin on his cute little face!  he was excited and caroline was trying to get comfortable on the elephants back!

after that mimi and gramps were off and we headed over to the petting zoo where ry practiced some medieval torture on the animals (well not really but might have if i let him, he's a little rough )

well that about sums it up-there are hundreds of more pictures but i wont bore you with those!!  we had a great time, don't think we will go back every year but we will go back!  thanks mimi and gramps or dave as ry now likes to call you!

ps. mom start working on our costumes for next year..... : )
