A Summer in the Past

This past summer we made not one, not two, but three trips to the NY Renaissance Faire. While Peanut spent the entire time in either the stroller or the Ergo, Munchkin had a great time. He played games, winning many stickers and "pirate" necklaces. One weekend, on Pirate Day, he even attended pirate school which I believe was one of the highlights of the entire summer. He also got to have a conversation with Robin Hood, which left all of us a little start struck. Of course we also did the usual of watching the early joust, and a few other shows. We picked our weekends well weather-wise, but we ran into the problem of the nicer the weather was, the more crowded it got. It wasn't a terrible problem, but it made potty breaks and feeding hungry preschoolers more interesting. Although when in doubt, we made sure to get our frozen oranges, and while Hubby sought out the beef jerky, I was partial to the pickle cart. Overall, we had a great time and are really looking forward to returning next year.
