The Ren Fair

Yesterday Matt helped Randy in the morning at a local state park planting trees, etc. Kris and I planted flowers in the pots out front. Then we went to Colorado's Renaissance Faire. It is about 1.25 hours away. It was so much fun! The food was great! We sampled turkey legs, soft pretzels, cookies, lemonade, ice tea and this great strawberry shaved ice served in an orange half. The shows were great. Kristen got her hair braided with gold flowers. Thank goodness I took pictures as soon as she was done, because the flowers were missing by the time we got home. That turkey. Matt got a wooden sword and got to "battle".(Maybe making this not a forbidden fruit type of thing will lessen its appeal in his teenage brain). Kristen got a royal pain t-shirt. I just got good memories and sore legs. This was so much better than The Renaissance Faire I went to in Pennysylvania. Most visitors dressed in period costumes and you could even rent them. Next time, we might do that. Going to the outdoor pool this afternoon and then Oceans 13 after dinner. Tomorrow, I have to be at work at 6:30 am
