Kids,
In October we took a neat weekend trip to Kansas City, where we spent an afternoon at the Renaissance Festival. They really take their Renaissancing seriously out there - it puts our little Ren-Faire here to shame.
Of course, Grammy made sure that you two were dressed appropriately.
We spent quite a bit of time in the children's play area.
This has to be one of my favorite pictures of Claire I've ever taken! Her head is so perfect for the picture. Hilarious!
All the "rides" at the festival are man-powered. We spent a good amount of time on them!
Claire's turn for a ride on the cool dragon swing.
But wait! All rides are on hold because it's time for a PARADE. And what better way to kick off a parade than a codpiece? I mean....an old guy with feathers.
Fairies!
Who invited Nostradamus?
I never had a weird drunk uncle, but if I did, I imagine he'd be something like this:
Clearly, all that parade watching put Claire in a trance.
More man-power.
(so cute!)
Looks like Mermaid Claire must have gotten a little whiplash on all those rides. Gotta little kink in the old neck there?
K.C. has gone all out in creating their little medieval world. Check out all the fancy buildings!
I had no idea there were camel rides back in the day, but Claire could not resist.
Annnnnd, she looks thrilled, doesn't she?
Logan liked this ride much better, I think. You had to ride the horse down the cable and put the sword through a ring in the dragon's mouth while you were moving. It looked pretty tricky!
But Logan made it on the first try and got knighted!
Look how seriously he takes his role! Super cute.
Claire cheering her brother on!
Here's the dragon. The ring is right by his nose.

SCORE!
Another round of knighting....
And Pappy did a brief tutorial in archery on our way out.
It was a fun, fun day! I love taking you guys out and showing you new places!
Love,
Mama
