We’re on our way back up to Santa Fe for a Letterboxing Event, so I decided to create a quick post so y’all could have a sneak peek of our fun day at the Renaissance Fair last weekend.
Gorgeous pictures Lisa! It's like going on vacation every time I come to your blog to see where we will go this time! Your kidlets are sooooo cute and very photogenic too. Oh, what fun you all must have had! I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!!! hugs.... ~jane
Too cool! I love Ren Fest...Miss Chef and I look forward to it all year long. I love that your twinlings dressed up. Now you've inspired me to bring my camera along next month and post some of my own Ren Fest pics!
What a great time! I used to attend the Renn Fest every year in Ontario. There is one here in Des Moines but it's not nearly the same - people don't quite get into the spirit in the same way. I still have my costume from Ontario (although it likely doesn't fit). It used to run for 8 weekends and they built an entire village exclusively for that event. Here it is only for a couple of weekends and no permanent buildings. I loved the vendors and the food and the honey mead. Good times. Thanks for the memories!
What fun! I used to be active in the SCA (a rennaisance group) in college. I still miss the clothes. An old friend used to perform in one here in Texas. He's a swordsman and quite a character... It's amazing what they do on horseback!
WOW...felt like I was there...what a complete set of pictures...of the event and day! Your kids are so cute an the boys totally handsome with soothing eyes! Bet the girls love them! How fun and such color! Loved the horses, of course! Thanks for that trip somewhere I may never have gone otherwise! Kac
What fun! I always wanted to go to one of these, now they are too far away! They have a big one in Muskogee, OK, but it was always held on busy weekends in May so we always missed it.

So true!
On Re-Homing an Animal:
"Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give an animal is to recognize that that they might be better off somewhere else and then finding that somewhere for them." and
"The best animal owners are the ones who recognize the animal's needs over the preservation of their own pride and selfishness."

Good trail partners are not just about keeping pace – it is about riding with people who will inspire and encourage you. Good trail horses are generally made rather than found. The horses that have surmounted some baggage are doubly esteemed because they required their rider to dig a bit deeper. ~Horsebytes

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. One Thousand pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs.
It's something you just can't get from a pet hamster.

Love the last picture! You all look so cute!
Great photos! Looks like a fun time was had by all. The kids costumes are darling, and I love the last shot of the family!
There is a big, Ren Fest in east Texas where I grew up. They have permanent grounds and are open all fall. This brought back some memories.
The costumes are so bright, and elaborate! It appears you all had a great time!
