Every year we go to the Renaissance Faire in Irwindale, CA. The last few years, it’s been held at the Santa Fe Dam. Here’s a glimpse at earlier years. Here too.
This Spring, Rock Steady has quite the full calendar. We knew we wanted to make sure that we attended but weren’t sure which weekend would work out best. As we woke up on Sunday morning, we realized that this was opening weekend so we took the day off as a family for a journey into earlier times.
The food is always the highlight. Of course. Strawberry crepes, scones and cream, steak on a stake, steak sandwiches, roasted corn, mango and coconut fruit ice, english toffee and peanut carmel apple slices… our bellies were happy campers.
A few years ago, Mr B, JT and myself dressed up in faire wear. This year, since only HeaBug and myself seemed game at the last minute, I decided to tribute the traditional garb by pairing my top and corset with jeggings and cowboy boots. HeaBug has a favorite purple velvet tutu dress that she loves wearing so we put a turtle neck underneath and tights on and we had ourself a fairy!
Annually, we buy handmade head wreaths of dried flowers and ribbon. HeaBug got her first one this year and she wore it all day.
JT has had better years at the fair and this year was in a Six Year Old Grump Slump. We’re looking forward to the experience again when he’s seven. Haha.
