Yes, it rained on us at the Renaissance Festival. We were wenched, I mean drenched! The first couple of hours were soggy and cold. I meant to grab an umbrella, didn't happen. The boys endured and sucked it up, the girls complained and cuddled up with mom and dad. I am so thankful MY LB was with me otherwise I would have gone home. Going home would have been a shame because the sun came out and despite the rain we had a wonderful time.
My favorite part was the food; turkey legs, royal baked potatoes, onion rings, candy coated pecans, funnel cake and chocolate covered strawberries. Yes, weight watchers and I have parted ways. Very sad, I think some day we will reunite our love for one another. But for now I am enjoying the reuniting with calories.
The kiddos love the shows! Acrobats, juggling, music, jokes, fire, whips, falconry and so many other fun things that we don't see much of. They also love looking at the shops and getting ideas for creating when we get home. Already on the list is one axe for Spencer, a painted shield for Matthew, and fairy outfits for the girls. MY LB and I love crafting and creating with the kids, especially when it is doing something that we love. MY LB loves to wood work and the boys have shared this hobby with him multiple times.
Over all it was a fun family day and a long drive so we were able to finish our CD book. We finished a series that we all loved and are so sad to be done. It is funny how we have made connections with the characters and feel like we are loosing friends. It ended to all of our satisfactions!
Here are some highlights.....

I'm glad you were still able to have fun! That was us last year, do you remember? The adverts say Rain or Shine, but pretty much everything closed up. Boo.
Look at the fun memories you created:) You'll never forget your trip in the rain!! What was the great series you just finished reading?
Too bad it was raining! We're going to try the Estrella wars again becuase the rain made me chicken out. Have I told you about the Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins? We LOVED that one and are enjoying the Pyrdain series, too.
