On Saturday we talked Jesse into taking us to the Renaissance Festival. My friend Amanda, a fan of Ren Fest, came along too. Once again the weather was quite toasty while we were out, but by the end of our 3hr trip it began to pour and we were all soaked for the car ride home. Here are some pictures highlighting our trip...
These two were playing tunes from Disney Movies. We heard songs form Marry Poppins, The Little Mermaid, and Sleeping Beauty while we were shopping near their stage.

Watching the parade. The couple on the elephant were just married in the outdoor wedding chapel on the festival grounds. I told Jesse we should think about doing that. He said No Way!

Sam made a new friend. Note: Her cute top is one she scored at the thrift stores on Thursday.
Knowing how much Sam loves elephants we couldn't leave the Festival with out catching a ride on one. He was a beautiful majestic elephant and he gave us a slow bumpy ride around the grounds.
Sam decided to get her palm read before we left.

As we headed into the festival I told Sam that I would be taking lots of pictures for her mom since she wasn't. Unfortunately I brought the camera, but forgot to load a memory card. Just my luck! Thankfully they had disposable cameras for sale right as we entered. They were a little pricey, but I was not about to miss taking pictures of our experience. My friend Amanda bought some fancy tea, Samantha bought some funky little apothecary jars, and Jesse & I purchased a hand made leather photo album. We ate some good food, watched people be hypnotized, saw a parade, listened to music, watched a glass blowing demo, and took in the general scenery before getting soaked in the storm that blew in.
