Renaissance Mamma

Over the weekend my family and some friends visited a Renaissance Faire in Folsom, California. There were plenty of people in character and costume, which made it fairly interesting even for our young boys. I couldn’t resist snapping a pic of this twosome. Baby in carrier being fed in one hand, turkey leg in the other. She’s got her shades, dress, and you can’t see it but a lovely purple wreath in her hair. What could say Renaissance any better?
As far as activities, I think the highlight was watching the joust in the arena. The competitors were obviously very well-trained and weren’t holding back from what I could see. They were also part of an organization that rescues and trains horses, so they obviously have a lot of heart for what they do. Certainly, they know how to put on a great show. The audience was divided into halves and were assigned a competitor to root for. When our competitor got more points than his opponent, candy would be tossed into the stands on our side by the announcer. So after that point, the kids really got into rooting for our knight. Fun times were had by all.
People-watching is one of my favorite travel activities! Great pictures!
What a great idea a Renaissance Faire! I have never been in one but I definetely want to.
