We went to the Renaissance Festival this weekend. Jason, Chris and one of Chris' co-workers went camping for the weekend and joined up with us at the festival on Saturday. We let the kids get costumes this year. It was quite warm, so Clara's stayed on for about 15 minutes once we were inside the gate.
I couldn't believe she went and stood next to this guy for a picture. Ha! He stands by the entrance and has wads of dollar bills sticking out of his costume from all of the pictures he's taken. I wonder how much he rakes in. I also wonder what his day job is.
I made sure and stopped first thing to get a family picture before all of the costumes were shed. Yes, I was a fuddy-duddy and didn't dress up. I just wasn't feeling it. Robert actually kept his on the whole time and Chris had to. He didn't bring a shirt. He was a little warm.
The kids feasted on kettle corn, ice cream and Dr. Pepper and Chris and I enjoyed some apple dumplings. Mmmm. They were both really well behaved and there were no meltdowns. Could it be Robert is finally starting to outgrow the mandatory public meltdown stage?
Can you spot the leprechaun in this next picture?
My cutie-patootie pirate.
Clara was giddy while getting her face painted.
And she wanted to try the bungee trampoline again this year. After several attempts, she finally did a flip.
Between pushing a stroller, getting Robert in and out of stroller, chasing him, taking him for potty breaks, and all of the walking in the heat, I was exhausted after several hours. Apparently they were not. I thought for sure they'd nap in the car, but nope. I couldn't even get Robert to nap when we got home. I eventually put a movie on for them so I could nap. Where does all of their energy come from?
