We headed out to the local, small Renaissance Faire this last weekend, and had a blast!
There was some awesome pillow fighting!
M contemplating the giant Jenga
All hail the Queen!
Leather crafting - they each made a bag to carry all the "stones" they collected through various games (Rat-a-Pult, pillow fighting, darts-and-apples, etc.)
There was live music with the Danse Macabre
Archery!
Fencing!
More of the Danse Macabre
And a beautifully costumed woman with a very large owl
Of course there was more... Irish songs; tons of people in incredible period costume; good food (loved the Chicken Tikka!); watching mock battles where the armor looked incredibly heavy; honey tasting; falconry... it was a day well spent! (Not to mention an incredibly fun way to learn some history!)

I love ren faires! Great pictures and it looks like the kids had fun.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun, and a beautiful fall day! The Danse Macabre group looks pretty cool! We went to Ren Fest last year at the start of our Middle ages study and had a fabulous time.
