Renaissance Fair

Today we met at the Renaissance Fair with friends and their son, Patrick's buddy, Kyle. The kids had a fun time and got along great. We walked all around, rode lots of rides, played games, saw a joust and did lots of people watching. Oh, and avoided Pirates. It was Pirate day.
Trouble in the stockades.
There was an archery range with a kid's section so Brian helped Patrick and Elizabeth slay a dragon and a poor unicorn.


Patrick got pretty decent at using the bow and arrow. He managed to do it himself a couple of times.
There were lots of rides all over the Renaissance Fair. Quite a racket too.......at $3 a pop! The kids really liked the Dragon ride. They rode it twice. It was entertaining to watch the dirty hippie that was running the ride entertain himself with its back and forth motion. We were joking that it was a job requirement to work there employees had to be smokin' something funny.

The Merry-Go-Round was fun too. The kids all smooshed into one seat (too cute).
It was a long day for the kids. Liz was asleep pretty quickly once she got settled in the car. Of course, she had to hitch a ride on Dad's shoulders when walking became just too much!
