Faire Thee Well

We made our annual trek to the Bristol Renaissance Faire today. Each time we go, we regret not dressing up. This year, Charlie and Sam actually did it. Sam was a knight, and Charlie was a recent favorite character from a book we're reading, Gideon the Cutpurse. We took this photo right after a security guard told Charlie he couldn't have his fencing sword unsheathed (we had no sheath, and had to return it to the car) ~
We had a lot of fun - enjoying the sights and shows. Sam was chosen to help one of the performers~

Mary liked the jousting~

Especially the horses~
