Here's a little more of our trip. We went to a renaissance festival the first day we were in Arizona. None of us really knew what to expect, but wow, it was definitely a lot more involved than any of us expected! It was a lot of fun! They had all kinds of shows like drummers, flame jugglers and jousting. They had buildings for arts and crafts, stores and entertainment all over the place.
There were lots of animals to see.
The only food they had was hand held (no utensils or anything), which was interesting for trying to feed kids. They had these humongous Turkey legs, sausage skewers and corn on the cob. Look at those turkey legs!
We could not peel Jake off of this corn on the cob. He literally stood in this position for 20 minutes straight while Bryce held the corn for him. He is actually standing up, but leaning into the corn for balance. He didn't even take his mouth off it to swallow and chew! Bryce was such a good sport!
They had rides too. This is Jake's first official ride on anything like this. He looks a little nervous, huh? He did pretty well and his sister took good care of him.
Poor Hailee was doing ok the first part of the day, but started getting really ornery mid-day. I thought it was unusual because she rarely acts like that anymore at her age, but I thought maybe it was because of all the commotion, our 12-hour drive the day before and just being off schedule. But when she first turned down a walk through the fairytale castle and then fell asleep in the stroller in the middle of the festival (and she hasn't taken a nap since she was 3), I knew something was wrong. Poor little thing...
It turned out she had some kind of 24-hour flu bug. I'm glad it didn't last our whole trip. I felt bad that she had to miss out on a few things because she was feeling so awful. She did have a great time most of the day though and it was a lot of fun to do something so unique.

Poor Hailee looks so cute asleep in the stroller... and Jake is so cute eating the corn on the cob!
