The annual trip to the Renaissance Faire was a fantastic time. Both the kids really had a blast and Tom and I always enjoy the music, folks, arts and of course the food and beer.
This year, Jeffrey decided to join Erin in the annual face painting. It was the first thing that Erin asked to do. This year Jeff wanted to get his face painted too. Erin chose to be a flower princess this year and Jeffrey wanted a spider on his cheek. They both sat so still while getting their designs. Both came out really cute.
Since it was a warmer day than last year, Erin decided not to wear her long Lucy dress. Jeffrey did wear his knight costume all day though. Erin wore her flower wreath, white leggings and a pretty blue/white "fairy" skirt. Both looked completely adorable. Jeffrey purchased a sword to adorn his costume with some money his Oma gave him.
We caught a couple of shows. The first was a St. George and the Dragon that the kids laughed and laughed at. Then our favorite Renaissance Man in the afternoon where Jeffrey got up in front of a few hundred folks and acted the total ham.
The highlight of the day, as always, were the bubble fairies. Erin and Jeff just LOVE making bubbles with the fairies. We brought the wand we purchased a few years ago, and Erin used her money from Oma to buy a second wand. Erin has gotten really good at making bubbles. Jeffrey tends to have more fun with popping the bubbles Erin makes. He did take a liking to the bubble fairy though. It was the same girl who was there last year, and she would play bubbles with the kids. Jeffrey made a big deal of making a bubble, then catching it on his wand and bringing it to her to make little bubbles inside. It was quite cute.
The day ended with a few minutes of listening to some music before a rain shower hit. We made a quick departure before the heavy rains hit. Still, we had to stop and grab a cheesecake on stick while dodging the rain drops.
What fun we can all have stepping back in time.
