Renaissance Festival!

Last weekend we traveled up the road to Charlotte to visit the North Carolina Renaissance Festival.

Cari and I visited a few years ago alone, so we knew what we wanted to show the rest of the family. Thankfully we had beautiful weather to be outside all day and that meant that everyone else wanted to come out as well.  The park was PACKED!

Some of our favorite things:

Jumping high!

Watching Vegetable Justice (the guy behind the wall insults people all day while tomatoes get thrown at him)

The Ded Bob Show (crazy puppet -- Our youngest daughter got called on stage!)

Jousting (you can't go to the Renaissance Festival without seeing some Jousting)

Sword Swallowing (ewww...)

Acrobatics (wow)

There was much more to see and do but with 6 of us we weren't going to see it all.   We made it to every performance that Cari and I picked out as some of our favorites from a few years ago.   Although, I didn't take a picture of it, Randy said his favorite part of the day was eating the roasted turkey leg.  A giant hunk of meat on a stick!

It was a great day.

Huzzah!
