Renaissance Festival

Today was our annual trip to the Renaissance Festival with some friends of ours. We've been going together every spring for about 4 years now, and it is one of our favorite things we do every year.

Today was no different - it was a blast! And it was a *beautiful* day for it!

Here are all the kids - we have 11 kids between the two families [not including the one that is still cooking!]:



Here is Monkey1 Jousting:



Monkeys 3 & 4 had saved lots of money and were able to buy pretty things for their hair and other nifty stuff:



Here are some of the kids on one of the rides:



Here is Monkey2 in his archer costume that he borrowed from his friend:



The corn on the cob is always a big hit for lunch:



All the kids had a blast on the giant swing, it is one of their favorite things each year:



Monkey5 had a great time too!



And at the end of the day... we were all exhausted!



We had an awesome day - hope you did too!

What a fun day! Looks like we have a lot in common, including being homeschool mamas in Georgia! I'd love to have you visit my blog sometime!

The kids look adorable in their costumes! What a great idea! Perhaps if I can summon up your energy, I'll take my kiddos to the Renaissance Fair when it comes here to Pennsylvania in the late summer/early fall.
