Maryland Renaissance Festival

Last weekend we met some of our good friends at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. I have been looking forward to it all year.

There are several people and entertainers that walk around the village. A lot of people who attend the festival also come dressed up.

We watched a jousting tournament. Every time this man held up this sign we were all suppose to yell huzzah! The kids loved cheering.

The show was fun to watch.

Kaylee and her friends were excited to go on the pony rides.

Kaden and his friend Jake thought they were too cool for pony rides. However, once we got towards the front of the line they changed their minds and joined in. :)

This nice man let Kaylee try out his harp.

Kaylee's friend let Kaylee have a turn wearing her pretty dress.

Kaden and his friend Jake both bought wooden swords. Kaden couldn't wait to get home to paint his. He loves his sword. :)

Here they are trying out their swords while we were waiting for the jousting tournament to start.

Kaden tried out the giant scale.

Here is a cute picture of Kaylee with her friends.

The kids had fun playing on this pirate ship and on a playground in the kids play area.

They also went down a big slide. Kaylee was nervous to go so her friend said she could ride with her. They came down laughing and wanting to go again. Kaden went down it with his friend too.

The kids were all excited to go through this maze.

Here they are on their way out.

We watched some archery.

We tried juggling at the free juggling school.

The kids watched this Princess and the Frog show. It didn't get very good reviews. :)

I shared this cheesecake on a stick dipped in dark chocolate with Kaylee. It was delicious!! Whenever I think about it I start craving it. :)


Kaden posed for this picture and Kaylee wanted to get in it too. If you look closely you will see her hand in the arm hole. :)

My friend took a family picture for us on our way out. We all had a lot of fun and will definitely be going back next year if we are still here.
