Mother's Day at the Faire

Today was SUCH a wonderful Mother's day! After a yummy breakfast and gifts (Jack helped Daddy pick out a beautiful charm bracelet for Mom) we headed to the Renaissance Faire! The day was warm but there was a really nice breeze, the food was delicious, the company was grand and all mama's in attendance were very happy!

We had a nice size group, Robert, Jack, Nohea and I were there with my mom (Liz), Brina, and Mara. Chris (Robert's brother) came up with us and we met Kate (Robert and Chris's Mom), Ron, and Amber. It was nice for Kate to have both of her boys!

We ate Roasted Corn, Turkey Legs, Broccoli Cheese soup in a bread bowl, Steak on a Stake, Curly Fries, Strawberry and Cream Scones, Cream Puffs, Steak Sandwich, and of course... Sin on a Stick (frozen chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick!). We did a lot of walking and people watching. Robert and Jack threw axes and shot cross bows.

Jack, Brina and Mara took fencing lessons.

Chris tossed a few javelins.
Jack threw darts with Maga (that's what he calls my mom) and she bought him a small wooden "peter pan" sword,
and Daddy bought him an axe!

(As if he needs any more weapons LOL).

Maga and Mara rode on the maypole carousel and got nice and dizzy. Brina and Mara jumped in on a random game of tug-o-war and their side won! Our little Crickett, Nohea, rode around in the sling for most of the day just watching EVERYTHING that was going on.

Gramma K and Papa Ron (Kate and Ron) took Jack to see the jousting horses
with Auntie Amber.

As the day wound down, we decided to watch a show that we like to see every year at the faire... the Washing Well Wenches. Wouldn't you know it they called Robert up to volunteer! He Hates getting up in front of everyone like that but it was hilarious watching the girls involve him in their comedy show. He was such a good sport about it and even took a picture with them afterwards. My mom got the biggest kick out of them all calling him Bubba ;)

We had a fantastic Mother's day together as a family and want to wish all of the beautiful Mothers that we know a wonderful Mother's Day as well. You are amazing, the way that you love your children and we want you to know how truly special you are. We love our moms!
