New York Renaissance Fair

Our friends Kate and Chris invited us to the Renaissance Fair (and enticed us with free tickets), so we went and had a grand time. Huzzah!


Axel insisted he wanted the sausage-on-a-stick. It was huge, and slightly inappropriate looking... But delicious.

Watching a Robin Hood performance. "Will Scarlet" (seen to the right) was Axel's buddy and talked to him a lot.

Kate playing the penny whistle. She is part of the roving band of musicians that plays at the beginning of lots of shows. Her husband Chris is mocking her with his own badly played whistle. 

Watching Robin Hood and friends tie the Maypole.


Dole Whip pineapple soft serve! So good (although he insisted on the sprinkles, which was weird with the pineapple)

Axel got to go on this dragon swing. He was laughing and smiling the whole time!




The boys trying to pull the sword out of the stone.



We had a fantastic time! We didn't know what to expect since we had never been before, but it was awesome! We spent about 6 hours there! We saw jousting, sword fighting, knife throwing, and a fire whip act! Not to mention my friend Kate perform several times, and hang out with her husband Chris and sister Marie. As we were leaving, Axel yelled, "Where is Maroo? We didn't get to say goodbye to Maroo!" Meaning Marie. It was hilarious!
