we went to the renaissance festival near magnolia, tx last weekend. it was a whole family affair. even my sister’s super fun new boyfriend came. deacon didn’t terrorize him toooo much.
i remember the renn fest from my childhood. we went every year. i remember funnel cake, turkey legs, princess hats, the big swings and riding the elephants. but…
apparently, my innocent child mind blocked out the insane drunkenness, goth teenagers, scantily clad women and all around debauchery.
and i don’t mind the wenches and cleavage everywhere. that seems very historically correct. (my knowledge of this era comes only from the three musketeers movie). what is not historically correct are the minotaurs, the vikings, harry potter, emo/goth dark fairies, or the slutty nurses (just kidding, kind of).
all of that made for a very interesting people watching day. i do not have a soft, quiet voice. i also have a very quick brain-to-mouth circuit. my family shushed me at least 10 times because i started to say, ‘uckkkkkk, why is her _______ hanging out of her….’ i say, don’t dress inappropriately unless you want me to comment.
fun pictures!
of course we found some drums!
that’s monica flying through the air
you can see why deacon spent the whole day saying ‘what’s that?’
what’s so hard about juggling fire on someone’s shoulders???
funnel cake. the best thing ever.
we rode an elephant! deacon loved it!
family photo op!
