A Day at the Texas Renaissance Festival

We made it. I've survived 2 days as a working Mom, and to the best of my math abilities there are only about 645 days remaining before I finish residency. Well, guess that's better than 650. I missed Jonathan horribly, but was delighted to have the chance to visit him around lunch on Thursday. I found him laughing with one of his teachers. He's definitely adjusting faster than his Mommy!

Today we headed out to the Texas Renaissance Festival. It's a study in weird people and weird costumes, but an entertaining way to spend a beautiful fall day outdoors.

All ready to go. Aren't my boys adorable?




I must have missed the history lecture on the significance of TreeDudes in the Renaissance, but he made for a photo-op, so we took it.







David masters archery.


Apparently I married a Viking?


I think they did have torches during the Renaissance, but I'm not so sure about the skate board and bowling ball. Though of questionable historic authenticity, this guy was pretty good.



Jonathan naps through the jousting matches while hundreds of people scream and cheer.
