Maryland Renaissance Festival

My friend Kim & I took the kids to the Maryland Renaissance Festival Saturday afternoon. It was humid but a lot of fun. They rode an elephant, watched a jousting tournament, and played. Sami even beat Keith at 2 activities and was extremely proud of herself! The only one to miss out on the fun was Kevin, who ditched us to ride his dirtbike - no surprise there!

The Jousting Tournament


The girls braved the elephant ride


Keith had a blast with the archery and almost hit the bullseye several times. He even taught Sami how to shoot an arrow


Sare Kate ..... need I say more?


Keith really tried to make it up that ladder


But only Sami made it to that bell!


Keith also tried to knock the Wench into the water but it was Sami who succeeded!


We ended the day by supplying the kids with their own swords. Giving swords to 4 kids might seem a tad crazy, but they were really having a blast. And so far only Sami has actually tried to beat anyone up with it....she's such a cutie!

Cute pic's! They really are beautiful kids! So, I guess when your blog is private, like mine, it doesn't show when it has been updated. So, you'll just have to check occasionally.
