Renaissance Festival

We spent Friday doing one of my favorite yearly things:  attending the Texas Renaissance Festival which is always a good time.  The kids are getting older and enjoying it as well.  Instead of just riding around in the stroller or wagon all day they actually participated in many fun things.

They each had some face/body paint done.  O had a dragon on his arm and M had a butterfly on her face.



M dressed the part in her Belle dress.  She loved comparing her dress to the others we saw.  What a girly-girl!  She certainly doesn't get it from me!
  

They enjoyed some of the rides.




And they tired themselves out walking all over the place so it was a quiet ride home!

I always love seeing all of the costumes and look forward to the day where we can all go, the kids can take off by themselves and do what they enjoy doing and mom & dad can take in some of the shows and shop in peace!  It was a great day--warm but overcast.  The sweatshirts didn't have to come out until the sun went down and we waited for the fireworks to begin.  

We even ran into ZCM, CM and friends.  A very nice day indeed.

OMG the picture of O sleeping is making me laugh out loud! I LOVE the pic of you and M. I can't wait till mine is old enough to enjoy (maybe in a year or 2) and then take off with yours so we can do some fun adult stuff too!
