began for us this weekend at
The Renaissance Festival!
Ron and I are well known for NOT liking crowds...
so imagine our surprise when
we decided to take our LITTLE family to one of the
BIGGEST
festivals in Arizona.
For Ron and I...it was a first!
Not the kids...they had been before,
and they were NOT surprised that it was to be SOOO much fun.
Chris started out the fun...
on Jacob's Ladder.
Not to be outdone by Jacob himself!
Katie was so determined to make it to the top...
bah humbug...
not even the guy operating it could do it!
The Festival is well known for its entertaining shows...
some which are not appropriate for kids,
so we chose wisely...
and laughed our heads off!
Jacob took cover from the MUD!
People watching was an EVENT in and of itself!
You can't get easily offended to try this event...
this guy TAUNTS you...
just daring you to hit his FACE with a tomato.
Katie and Ron both had some good arms...
but missed everytime!
The kids tried everything...
from archery,
to Jenga,
(by the way Jacob...you rocked at this!)
and the Crystal Sticks....
paintball mania...where you guys pegged the guy
much to his dismay!
And it was only NOON.
WHEW...we were just getting started!
We still had YUMMY food to eat...
Corn on a HUSK!
Steak on a STAKE!
Christopher could not get ENOUGH of this!
For me...I couldn't get ENOUGH of spending the day
with the ones I love...
I mean...how can you not LOVE all these faces????
We ended the day...
Flying high...on the Catapult!
And when I asked my kids if I should do it,
they asked...
"Mom you have to be under 180 lbs!"
Well...that just meant to me...
"Bring it on!"
Oh my goodness...was that FUN!
To show my kids that I still had a little SPUNK left in me
and FLYING that high was awesome!
We found this GREAT little kids spot...where you
could actually do stuff for FREE!
Yes....that's right FREE!
Last but not Least...
the Jousting Tournament where our Knight...
Sir Alexander won!
We weren't supposed to have the kids for the weekend...
so when we did,
it just made this day even more special!
I sure do love this LIFE!

Family activities are fun, aren't they? It looks like your family experienced the entire event.
yeah, I'm so glad you guys had fun. I'm always nervous to recommend things that cost a lot of money. Sounds like you did good though! We had a blast when we went too. I love good family days!
