Oh wow, she sounded like she was in the "Renaissance"! And why do you think I did that??? Well, let me first tell you all about our crazy almost-15-hour-day which will also explain the crazy "Renaissance" dialect!!!
It all started when the alarm went off at 6am! Yes, you did read that correctly, we got up at 6am on a Saturday, not to work but to have FUN!!! We got dressed, fed our dogs, made breakfast and were out of the house by 7:30am! We drove an hour to Todd Mission, TX and arrived at our exciting destination....THE REN FEST! (REN is short for Renaissance). If you don't know, The Ren Fest is one of the MOST highly anticipated festivals in Texas!!! Everyone waits for October to come only for Ren Fest! Let me first stop there, for those of you that do not live in Texas and have never been, Ren Fest is probably the best place for everyone all ages! And let me tell you what, it is sooo worth it! Now back to my story, hehe (:. Ren Fest has been something we have been dying to do this year and so we finally went! It was so fun! This weekends theme was All Hallows Eve, and boy it was anything but scary. Basically it was a SPOOKtacular time!! (Notice how I changed the word, hehe). Oh and if you don't know, every weekend at Ren Fest is different. Back on track, we arrived at 8am and waited for the doors to open at 9am. We were able to see all the wonderful people who were amazing enough to dress up (which is my favorite part because some people go ALL OUT, especially the women......................if you know what I mean) We were able to see 7 shows and we walked around the entire festival about 4 times (FYI its not small festival). Throughout all the fun, we took tons of pictures which I will provide for you below (: After all the wonderful and spooktacular fun, we left the party at about 7pm only to wait in a line of traffic for 45minutes (which was just to get out of the park). We arrived home at about 8:30pm and were finally able to sit on something other than concrete or wood...our couch. After all is said and done, Ren Fest was absolutely incredible and I would absolutely suggest that every family experience it at least once! If you have kids, bring them because there are so many kid friendly things to do! And for those of you that do not have kids, believe me, there are TONS of non-kid friendly, dirty, tasteless, trashy and hilariously inappropriate things. In all honesty, whether you bring the kids or have none, everyone all ages can find something about Ren Fest to fall in love with. Whether it be the incredibly delicious and HUGE turkey legs, the fun and outrageous costumes or just the actors doing their job, Ren Fest is definitely fun for all!! So let me share with you all the wonderfully colorful and fun pictures (And yes, the festival was just as fun as the pictures look but the pictures DO NOT do the festival any justice!!)
These are pictures of us just around Ren Fest.
These pictures are from a part of the Royal Celebration where guests could be introduced into all the different Courts from all the different countries.
Thank you so very much for letting me share my pictures with you. I hope you enjoyed the pictures just as much as I enjoyed taking them. With blessings and love!
God Bless
