We had fun at the faire....not really my cup of tea, but it was nice to get out of the house and do a family thing. We almost didn't go, which would have been bad because Mike bought the tickets early (they're cheaper that way). Andrew woke up about 5:00 in the morning throwing up. I let him sleep in until he woke up on his own, so that he would hopefully feel better. He did. I think it must have been all the junk he ate at Geek day. Although I enjoyed the peace and quiet, I think since they were over at Joe's and there was no mom supervision, massive amounts of junk was consumed. Oh well.
The grounds were quite sloppy, but we had a good time. Of course, there was huge focus on food. I think one of the first questions was, "when are we going to eat turkey legs?" I will post pictures. Then it was all about shopping. Alexa bought a body tattoo thing (it's reuseable), got her face painted, bought a sash, and some other stuff. Andrew bought Thor's hammer and an archer on a horse to go with his castle figurines. Then it was on to watching the shows. They were very entertaining. Although, I must point out, the sword fighters had nothing on the sword fighting Mike and I used to do.
It was a great weekend. I had a great evening with Sandy. We are such creatures of habit. For her birthday we always go to Olive Garden, so that's where we went. I always get the Eggplant Parmigania. Then we go to Cold Stone Creamery. Massive amounts of calories in one night, but I'm sure we burned most of them off laughing and talking. Mike went to a retirement party. He had a good time as well. The kids went to grandpa and grandma's and had fun, of course.
Saturday I studied and, like I said earlier, they went to Geek day. Just a relaxing, enjoyable weekend.

Don and I attended a Renassaince Faire in England, when he was there for military duty. While watching the jousters (which got rather clown-like at times), this sweet little boy perched on his father's shoulders chirped out in the most endearing English accent, "Oh, Daddy, he smacked him on the bottom!" The day was quite interesting.
Whoops! Spelled Resaissance wrong. Knew I'd do that.....
RENAISSANCE.
There. Finally got it right. Now I'm going to bed. lol!
I bet that was fun. Probably more authentic than here. Did you live in England, or were you there for just a short time?
DON was there for six weeks; I was there for five days. Hardly fair! lol But it was a great time--I'd love to go back someday.
Just one of the many places I would like to visit.
