Renaissance Fair

Today we went to the local Renaissance Fair. It was about an hour drive but it was the best Renn Fair I have ever been to. There were tons of shops with all sorts of fun things to look at and cool things to do.  We went through a Dungeon and Chance went through a maze.  We saw jousting and duels and a medieval comedy show and juggling and the royal parade. It was warm enough for short sleeves and we ran into a couple friends from the playgroup while we were there. We all had tons of fun.

One of the most fun things for Chance and what seemed to me like a really cool experience was when Chance got a mini archery lesson and got to shoot 8 arrows. He even got one to stick in the target.  He really likes archery, we watched as much of it as we could during the Olympics and he really enjoyed the Hunger Games movie, Robin Hood and the tv show Arrow.  He keeps asking for us to take him somewhere to shoot real arrows so now maybe I should look into that.
