- so hard to get into the parking lot! so far from the entrance!
- C wore her purple flower wreath from a previous visit to the Faire, a purple shirt, carried a purple foam sword, and eventually picked out a purple painted parasol
- almost no cell phone looking!
- so much smoking!
- This was a Celtic theme weekend, so there were hundreds of kilted men, including lots of men in the famous Utilikilt (it's like a hybrid between Dockers and a traditional Scottish kilt).
- lots of great Renaissance costumes with a sprinkling of non-Renaissance costumes
- jousting
- iffy toilets (they told us to put the toilet paper in the baskets, not the toilets--eww!)
- I spent a lot of time shuttling myself and Baby T to the bathroom.
- We saw a falconry show
- C and Baby T rode a camel together
- C and D did bungee jumping (they've wanted to try it for years)
- C and D enjoyed fried ice cream
- there were also a number of impromptu battles between the kids, as we brought along our foam swords--they got pointers from a kind stranger
I was keeping a particular eye on the musicians, as C has a particular interest in Renaissance music, and there's a possibility that she could eventually play at the Faire. Going in, I was wondering about what kind of instruments are typical. I'm not sure if this was typical (it being a Celtic weekend), but I saw a number of harps, modern guitars, a mandolin (?) and a ukulele. I didn't see an actual lute, as far as I could tell.
