Andy and I had a yearly tradition of going to the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. It started in the Fall of 1995, and continued for a solid 8 years after that. Then came deployments and duty stations that were more than a day's drive home, and we haven't made it to many Festivals since (though my parents and brother always buy us a yearly mug). Well, this year we realized we didn't necessarily have to go to the Kansas City Ren Fest...we could go to one that was quite a bit closer (like here in New York). And that is exactly what we did...
What says Ren Fest more than a giant turkey leg? It was great to watch Alex dig into this, and the fact he is missing his front teeth made it even more entertaining.
We will always make time for a test of strenth. Alex was very proud to have rung the bell after a lesson from Daddy.
The big difference between going to the Ren Fest with kids as opposed to without: we spend a lot more money on rides and carnival games...
...and tatoos...and hats...
And remember the yearly mugs that I told you about? Well, we were just wondering what happened to the one we bought this year. Now we know. It is still sitting on a bench at the Ren Fest. At least we have a picture.

... good pizza, bad Andy...
Turkey legs at the Ren Fests are inaccurate! Turkeys were domesticated in Central & Southern Mexico, and were not imported to the Old World until at least the late 1500s. Henry VIII would never had eaten turkey. That said, they are still fun to eat, and how Alex managed without front teeth is beyond me!
Ooooh, I can just feel your fustration when you saw the mug in the photo!
