Renn Faire 2013

We had our annual Renn Faire day on May 18th with two of our friends: Kristen and Daniel.  This was Kyler's first time at the Renn Faire because last year I was VERY pregnant.  We of course saw the joust (where I got Kyler snuggles).

We saw our favorite washing well wench show and then changed things up a bit by going to the kids' area for playing time and a magic show where Kristen got to be an assistant.

Kyler didn't really appreciate the idea of sitting and watching the shows, so I did a lot of running after him as he walked wherever he pleased.  He rode in the stroller a bit when we could actually get him to and was carried the other part of the time.

Makenna had seen one of the rides and decided that she wanted to try it.  So, graciously Kristen went on with her while Daniel took amazing pictures.  You gotta love friends!!  It was so hilarious to watch Makenna's face as they slowly wound the ride up and up the pole until it was up the furthest it would go.  Then they let it go and it twirled quickly down.  Makenna's face stared off as a scared little girl and made Toby and I doubt our decision to put her on the ride.  But then that scared little face started to turn into a smile and then into giggles of joy.  She was not traumatized for life...Phew!!

And Makenna made a "best" friend in the process (Kristen and she were inseparable from then on).

And then the Renn Faire wouldn't be complete without us posing in some picture cutouts:-)

The three girls caught in the stocks.

At that point it was time for us to leave, but we know we will be going back again next year for more fun.
