Renaissance Festival

Peter thought it would be a good idea to try out the Renaissance Festival this year with the kiddos and I am so glad we did. They ahd SO much fun! What's not to love...people dressed up, princesses, queens,kings, knights, jousting, dragons, wands and swords, yummy snacks, a petting zoo, birds of prey show, fun music and just lots of good people watching.
It was a great day. Samantha got her hair braided-which we could not believe and Cole rode the butterfly carousel swing. It was so funny-everytime he went around he'd wave and yell, "Hi Mommy!"
Grandma and Grandpa came too. It was such a fun day.
We also spent a lot of time petting and learning about retired greyhounds. Adopting one is in our near future. They are so sweet and such great family dogs. Peter fell in love, I know, Peter!!! And he's a hard sell. they are THAT good!
As we were walking out Samantha said, "Mommy, that was WAY more fun than I thought it was going to be." LOL

 This honestly looked painful!
