Hail the Turkey Leg

Another year, another trip to the Renaissance Festival. No turkey legs for us, but it's kind of the "cheese curd" of the Renaissance Festival! We just love this festival. Where else can you go and see a tortoise pulling a wagon or see people walking around at 9 in the morning drinking mead from a medieval goblet wearing a Robin Hood-esque costume? We went with the Lamothe's including Grandpa Leonard and had such a lovely time. It was a crisp, but beautiful sunny day. The kids enjoyed making wands, riding an elephant (no Luke...he refused), riding rides (butterfly swings and the Piccolo Pony), petting snakes (don't worry I made myself scarce during that part), watching a jousting event, watching a magic show and riding a pony. Oh wait, Luke refused to ride a pony and Blake freaked out when the pony shook it's mane and had to get off. We almost got out of the place without a souvenir BUT near the exit there was a sword shop and 2 wooden swords, 2 leather sword holders and 1 wooden shield later...
