Mom's Perspective of the Faire

As Tim said, we had a great time at the Renaissance Faire. I should mention - the only costumes I worked on were mine and Miss M's - simple skirts and her apron. The boys did their own costumes. Miss M looked adorable on her way to the Faire, like a child straight from a Breugel painting:





But when she came out of her carseat, she was soaking wet! She had spilled her entire cup of juice all over herself. It was cold and windy, a miserable day to be wet. Luckily, C's mom had brought along a pair of Levi's and a shirt in case he needed a change of clothes, so Miss M wore that and I put the apron (which was still mostly dry) over that. It made an interesting fashion statement. Later in the day, the skirt dried, so I slipped it on over the Levi's.





My only complaint about the Faire was the food. At a Renaissance Faire, I would expect meat pasties, pottage, ale. But what they had was cotton candy, funnel cakes, burgers and fries! (?) Very disappointing.
