Renaissance Festival


About a week ago we were going to take Ashlyn and our dog to Coon's Bluff to let them run around and play in the river, we ended up talking to my aunt and she mentioned they were at the Renaissance Festival - we decided we'd rather go there because Blake and I had wanted to go for the last 5 years and always forgot when it was open! So we headed out past Gold Canyon and went, however I'm not sure if they still have them but they did print 50% off the entrance fee (which is $20 a person) so if you go look for a coupon in the paper or online. We didn't know about the coupon until too late. But we still had a great time, Ashlyn had a ride on an elephant for the first time, pet some farm animals, road on a ride with mommy and ate some yummy food.... her favorite was my Frozen Icee which stained her chin red. Blake did the Axe throw and the knife throw, he stuck the most axes and was given a certificate! We met up with my grandma, aunts, and cousin towards the end and we were happy that we went. Blake and I had both gone as kids in elementary school and I remember doing the wax hand and Blake wanted to check out the wooden swords that he SO wanted back in the day - I must say we'd both grown out of those activities this time around. It was a beautiful sunny day and we made up our trip to Coon's Bluff the next day but forgot our camera.
