WE STEPPED BACK IN TIME,

to a time of knights, maidens, magicians, fortune tellers and pirates! We took the boys to the Renaissance Faire in Washington.
This fair is three weekends long and each weekend is a different theme. This weekend was pirates and the fair was incredible and so much fun. My man clan enjoyed archery and throwing knifes and stars. We watched amazing equestrian acts that even included jousting!
There was music, dancing, a maypole and food galore. One of the best parts of the fair was there were so many performers walking around interacting with the crowd. Everyone was having such a great time.
On of my man clan's favorite spots was the sassafras booth where you could have your choice of birch rootbeer, honey rootbeer or cream soda, on tap.
We saw a copper dragon in the making.
This cute iguana is sixteen years old and the Pickle Wench was always nearby selling ice cold, crunchy pickles, which are quite delicious!
There was so much to do at this festival, we didn't get to it all. We will definitely be visiting that fair again.
But the highlight of the fair, was meeting my cousin, Zinger of Zinger's Royal Magick.

THE PIRATE FESTIVAL

was our destination today.
It was the wish of our birthday boy and also on our Stephanie-Palooza list....
The Pirate Festival is this weekend, rain or shine, at Cathedral Park and we got both....
We had a lot of sword fighting amongst our troops....
We heard a lot of ARRRG's, AVAST!, AYE!, SHIVER ME TIMBERS! music and laughter.....

The birthday boy had master skills at the diabolo booth...
And juggling booth...

We saw pirates of every shape and size and even a few sirens too....
It would be a delight for all you people watchers....

We saw sword fighting...

There was so much for the children to do!
Dancing, puppets, re-enactments, bands playing, contests and one of our favorites was Scupper Monkey Island...
After a couple of hours the skies opened and down came the rain....
Some of us who hiked our pants and went barefoot left with wet, wrinkly toes.
The rest of us just left wet - actually, really, REALLY wet!
