Ren Fest 2006

I’m so sorry! It’s been far to long since I’ve updated my blog. It seems like there is so much going on. Our springs always seem to be so busy. Busy, busy six-toothed Babygirl is keeping me hopping. I do think it’s easier once they start to walk. Then you don’t have to worry about putting them down somewhere.

Let’s see – on the Babygirl front – she loves to be chased! Mapgeek or I will “chase” her and she gets so excited. She tries to walk fast, flaps her arms, and laughs and someone tries to get her. Of course, she always get so excited she falls down. It makes me laugh just thinking about it.

We took her to the Renaissance Festival this weekend. We met Biff, JD, and Biff’s daughter, Freckles (and the cutest freckles ever!) down there. Biff, Freckles, and I have been going off and on for a few years. Anyways, Ren Fest is hilarious. All the local nerds get dressed up in their best D&D outfits and show up speaking Old English. The weather was beautiful and there was plenty of park-like areas for Babygirl to run around. Lots of food including roast turkey legs, fried dill pickles, and kettle corn (though I couldn’t find the corn this year, dangit). There’s also shows including a real live joust!

Babygirl loved this big dragon (i.e. person in a dragon suit) at the entrance. Wasn’t scared a big. She just wanted to touch it. There was also a Mother Goose exhibit where you could sit and talk to “Mother Goose”, which was a big white goose named Maggie. There were 2 other geese and a duck. Babygirl LOVED it! She even got a hug from Maggie. We also went to the petting zoo part too. There were rabbits, geese, sheep, lambs, goats, pigs, and lots of loud roosters. Babygirl especially liked the rabbits and lambs. Of course, by the time we left, 3 hours later, Babygirl was crankkkkkk-eeeee and immediately fell asleep in the car. Sweet thing.

I’ll try to post some pictures shortly!
