Huzzah!

Today we went to the Arizona Renaissance Festival with Mandy and her 3 boys. This is the 1st time the boys have been to festival since Bryce was a baby. Mark and I also have not been since Bryce was a baby so we were looking forward to spending the day outside with all the kids taking in the sites and sounds of the Renaissance Fest. Right inside the doors was the first item the kids wanted to try JACOBS LADDER.
Next the boys wanted to slingshot up into the air on giant trampolines hooked up to giant bungies. Both boys enjoyed jumping straight into the air but were not adventurous enough to do any flips or tricks (that is until they got off)...lol.

Once the boys were done jumping we stumbled upon the fire whip show. While we waiting for the show to start they boys played and ran around the grass field. The whip show was fun and keep everyone entertained with witty humor and lots of different kinds of whips. The show ended with fireballs and a half dressed man..lolWe walked around a bit more, ate huge turkey legs, watched 3 guys and a bunch of drums, and made candles and sand art while I got my hair braided. Bryce and Mandy's boys even pet and fed lambs and saw rabbits and chickens. The boys enjoyed a few more games and rides like: pillow fight's, large rocking horse rides, and riding on Columbus's Ship the Niña. Then it was off to watch the last joust of the day. Where it was a fight to the death.

We sat on the hero side at the joust with the Hero in Black and White. The joust was fun and the boys really enjoyed all the action and in the end our hero won the fight.
On the way out of the event we stopped to watch a bird man magician. At one point in his show he pulled Bryce out of the audience to help him with a trick. It was a great day that I would love to do again (maybe next year).
