scenes from the faire....

we went to the reniassance festival a couple of weeks ago and had a lot of fun. expensive though...it's been about 5 years since we've been there and i was amazed at how much the price of everything had gone up. five dollars for a turkey leg???? sheesh....lucky for us we had free tickets to get in to the faire. it was also a lot more technically updated since the last time i was there too. all of the characters had headset microphones so they didn't have to shout too loud for their performances. and now they use blackberry palm devices to run the credit cards for payment of their overpriced food and souvenirs.
this new feature (ride) was fun for austen, harnessed in and launched hydrolically (is that spelled right??) into the air from a trampoline. launched high into the air. he loved it and he laughed and laughed. i wanted to go on it too but it was too soon after surgery for that. they also had a rock climbing wall for the kids and he tried that too. there were lots of activities for the kids. the people that ran the activities for the kids were great with them. i think that is one of my favorite things about the reniassance festival, the characters and how they act the roles they portray. they really seem to enjoy their work.











we got home just in time to watch michigan kick notre dame's butt!!!! awesome game. M go blue.... Posted by Picasa
