"And, Mrs. Miller, who, like every wife and mother, could do at least three different things at the same time, went back to reading her book and sewing buttons on a shirt." - Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine (1958)

Rollicking Good Time
Because we left Michigan a day early (and had a day to recuperate), we were able to take advantage of some free tickets to the Bristol Renaissance Faire a friend had given us. We walked in just in time to catch the Mud Show~ This year, Mary was really excited to try the pony ride again~ She stayed on (and smiled) the entire time~ Mary then spotted the giant dill pickles, and had to have one (she loved the garlic) ~ Peace, love, and happiness~ Eagle eyes spotted this turtle~ This year Sam wanted to scale the walls of the castle~ 40 Feet~ Sam's shadow~ There is so much to do and see, and most of it is family friendly, like the parade~ Both boys wanted to try the bungee again~ If money and space were no object, we would definitely have one of these in our back yard~
Always a favorite, the falconry show~ The princess in her tower~ We had a late lunch, then headed home. It was the perfect official end to summer~
