Ren Fest 2012

Each year during the weekends in the end of the summer/beginning of fall, Kansas City has a Renaissance Festival.  Last year we went for the first time and if I can find some pictures of us there last year I will try to get those up.  We also went this year and had a blast.  It amazes me how big it is and all the activities they have to do for both kids and adults.  Even going there a whole day you can't get everything accomplished.  I wish the fall wasn't so busy so we could dedicate a whole weekend.  Maybe next year?

The girls loved the Mermaid.  Unfortunately the line was so long (she was new this year) so they were shoo-ing people along and we didn't get any pictures.  However, they gave all the kids jewels that both of the girls protected with all their being.  In fact, I am sure it is still in Troublemaker's special drawer.

We also got the opportunity to met the Queen, the Princess, and their Royal Court multiple times.  Last year we didn't even see them but these year we got to talk to them for quite awhile and then we also saw them later in the day when the Queen turned Bumpkin and Troublemaker into Ladies of the Court.

Another exciting part was watching the jousting.  I think that is pretty self-explanatory but the girls really enjoyed the show.

Here are some other fun parts of Ren Fest 2012. 

This was Mimi before we even got into the interstate.
