Bristol Renaissance Faire

Tom and I celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary by treating ourselves to a trip to the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Wisconsin. We had a wonderful time and my only regret is that two days was not nearly enough time to take it all in! I can't wait to return next year! I took more than 300 photos. Here are 50 or so of the best. :)




Fae Folk





Lady Ettie


Barely Balanced






Q.E. & Robin Hood






The Swordsmen






The Queen's Feast (Sunday)















The Joust












The Barber-Surgeon



The effects of stepping into Lake Elizabeth?


Yes, I really was there. LOL



I took a gazillion pics of the clothing worn by the members of the court but I'll save those for another post. :)

One Week - Three Birthdays!

It's been a fun crazy week around here! We started out with Kacie's birthday last Monday which was a simple celebration of cake and ice cream at home with the family followed by a session of Rock Band.



Friday was Tom's 50th birthday which was celebrated with a golf themed party with friends and family.


Sunday we celebrated Joann's birthday with brats on the grill and cake and ice cream in the back yard then the kids had a fire on the patio and made smores.


Now I plan to take it easy for a couple of days before I have to prepare for our anniversary trip this coming weekend to Wisconsin and the Bristol Renaissance Fair.
