Sorry for the Delay


This post is waaay past due, and I sincerely apologize 
to those who follow my blog posts. 
This semester of school has been quite difficult & then top that off with multiple jobs. 
Let me quite with the excuses and get to the goods.
I want to start with sharing my very first time at a Renaissance festival, I had so much fun there and so did my family!


One of the first spectacles we got to enjoy was some good 'ole fashion sword fighting! That also led to some wrestling. 

While stopping for food and shopping for crowns we were able to see Queen Elizabeth with her royal posse having a picnic. Which she expressed she wasn't really into.



  
After spotting a pub we decided to get some Guinness beers and luckily enough we were in time for the belly dancing show by the gypsies! 
This woman was so wonderful she had everybody captivated. 

To then satisfy our need for brute action we sat and cheered on Sir Marcus in the jousting division! 





And much to our delight we were able to take photos of our champion afterwards



After watching all of that excitement we all decided to have some fun of our own...
I shot a chinese crossbow


My brother got one head in the bucket at the head toss

And as we walked around he decided he needed a Didgeridoo





Which he was very good at...surprisingly


This was a weekend I was needing.
