Ren Faire Hilarity

Ren Fair again, YEAH!! We absolutely love going to the Ren Faire. This year we went with four of our friends and of course Makenna went also. This year was a little different because it was swashbuckling weekend (aka Pirates, for all of you non-nerds). At the start of the fair they gave us a map to find the hidden treasure. While trying to find all of the treasure map pieces we got to see three of the shows and the Queen's Joust.  One show that we watch every year, and LOVE, is the "Washing Well Wenches", they are so hilarious.

At the joust our blue knight did well and threw a flower to Kristen.

While looking for the map pieces we found it very handy to have Makenna with us. On one of the locations we were supposed to have to answer a riddle, play a game, or do a funny dance, but we got away with the piece after Makenna very politely said "Please". I suppose next year that won't work so well, but this year when she was so little, and just starting to talk, it was irresistible to not give her what she wants when she asks so nicely:-)

Unfortunately for us we missed one piece of the map (We were lied to). Makenna was getting tired of being there so we didn't get the prize but had a wonderful time anyway. On our way out Makenna was crying and there were a group of people that were dressed up along with a "Priest" and they all bowed to Makenna. She didn't much know what to think but it stopped her crying and it was pretty funny.

We can't wait to go back next year.
