Renaissance Festival

We took the girls to the Renaissance Festival this past weekend.  It was a bit too much walking for them (note - bring a wagon next time), but they had a blast!  I thoroughly enjoyed all the people-watching and eating soup in a bread bowl.

The highlights were visiting the mermaids (I found this very odd, but the girls liked it), and of course riding the ponies.

Riding proud

I was impressed with the braided manes... but is it humane?
(puns always intended)

Born to ride

On the iron throne with my minions...

So cute when she's pissed

Fickle feelings
