Rennaisance Fair

Once again, it's been a long time since my last post. Nonetheless... we went to the Rennaissance Fair on Memorial Day. We had a GREAT time. Although Charles went relunctantly, he ended up having so much fun. It was a little muggy that day and the forecast was for rain, but that was great for us becuase it didn't rain and it was very un-crowded.

First we went to the joust where our knight won. Then we went to an act called "Flying Debris." It was SO fun. This guy named Todd Key juggle, sets on fire, balances, etc all kinds of wierd things. For example, the audience voted on which "dangerous" objects he should juggle and it turned out to be a spikey ball on a stick, a knife and a can of spam. He was very FUNNY in addition to just entertaining.

Andrew was called on stage to assist. He got to where the jokers hat and he held two "spikes" that then held "spinning balls of death." Everything was very dramatic to this guy.

Charles got on stage to assist (after the camera battery died- darn it). He helped balance the guy and threw him something to add while he was juggling. He said "Chuck the spam, Chuck." Hehehe. Later on we walked around and Charles got caught by the KISSING WINCH!! Ugh! It was kinda hard to get that red lipstick off his cheek.

Andrew was allowed to do one thing and he chose the maze. He went through it pretty well and even found some hidden treasure in there.

While walking around we came to an insult guy. You know, they sit in above a water tank and you try the hit the target with a baseball to dunk them. Charles tried a few time then Andrew tried. Andrew's second throw he knocked that sucker right in the water!!

We had a lot of fun. There were some STRANGE sights, believe me. But it was neat for everyone to say "My Lady" or "My Lord." We actually won these tickets at trivia. It was by a drawing, not becuase we got a lot of questions right. It's a fun memory we have.
