Renaissance Festival

We have been so lucky to have had a month full of beautiful, higher than avg temperature, weekends here in Minnesota. Today was no exception, but last Sunday we took advantage of the weather and headed down to Shakopee for the 2009 Renaissance Festival. I've decided I like it tons better then the State Fair. Turns out, we've now been to this Festival about 5 times and the State Fair only once in our 9 years here. There's something about seeing people walking around in medieval costumes, eating a turkey drumstick as big as their thigh and drinking a pint of beer...all at 9 in the morning!

This year, we went with Chloe and Jonny and their families. Blake and Jonny were pretty skeptical of the weirdos (rightly so), but Chloe was a trooper! Though he had to be carried nearly the entire day, Blake did have fun riding an elephant, a pony, petting some sheep and making a magic wand. Luke, as always, was just along for the ride. He was SUPER excited to get his own wand and to watch Blake ride the pony though.
