Renaissance School Days

We went to the Texas Renaissance Festival for their school day program this year.  I was super excited because we are studying the renaissance this year in school. Although I wish one year they would ditch Henry VIII and let Mary and  Elizabeth fight it out.  Now that would be history coming alive!

Marshall's at least feeling fabulous.

 

 We made it to the joust just in time due to some traffic on the way.

Cooper wanted to ride the flying trampoline ride.  Don't ask me what this has to do with the Renaissance but he had a blast. I suppose they can't fling kids out of trebuchets so this has to suffice.

He was nervous the entire time but never wanted to quit.  He finally got to do a flip at the end.

Marshall, not being a fan of heights, decided on the mechanical joust.  He got the ring on the second try! Huzzah!

Barrett trying to figure that lady out.  "She tall!"

Cooper's not impressed with the dancing.

"Ye Olde Funnel Cake"

About 16 years ago this used to be a chicken on a stick shack called the Royal Arms Tavern.  I worked here my senior year of high school.  It's now a stroller rental place.  The irony is not lost on me even though my stroller pushing days are almost over.

Best bubbies. They were so tired from walking they finally held hands because I was walking too fast.
