Renfest Pictures

Here are pictures from when we went to the Renaissance Festival Thanksgiving Weekend.

Once again, we gave each kid a budget of $15. Both kids were determined to spend all their money. At first they cared only if they had enough to buy whatever caught their eye. However, by the end of the day, they were more discriminating with their few remaining dollars.



Fire Whip! It was this show's first time at the Texas Ren Fest, and drew a huge crowd every time. I missed this show on school days, and everyone else raved about it, so I had to visit this time.


Wander got the requisite Turkey Leg. My brother was still visiting us.


The highlight of the day, and the best deal in all the faire, was the School of Art. We got to start with a blank canvas. We took turns adding sky, trees, grass, flowers, and water, under the direction of the owner of the booth.


Once again, Princess Sparkle and Princess Glitter joined the French court for a tea party. After lemonade and cookies, the kids enjoyed a rousing game of duck-duck-goose. Finally, the Dauphin (crown prince) of France proposed to each princess and gave her a ring.



We began and end the day with dancing.


Sorry for the randomness of this post.
