PA Renaissance Faire

So yesterday, they had buy-one-get-one-free tickets for the PA Ren Faire. Tim, Jason, Kevin and I all went... along with Brenda Hager, her sons Chris and Jacob, and sister Kathy Hager, and Maureen Johnston and her daughter Mary.

We had a blast! Jason and Kevin especially had been asking if we could go, since last summer. Tim and I met a 'pirate' at the entrance, who informed us that only those 18 and over could handle the weapons at the store. Tim, of course, lorded it over his brothers that HE could touch the swords, and they couldn't.

We all went our seperate ways, enjoying areas that we'd like individually, but came together for certain performances and happenings. The kids met a freind from their "Journey" Group, Anna, who happened to be going the same day. Surprise!

We watched the Jousting, and the live chess game. We saw several performance shows (ie plays and acrobats), and browsed the shops. Kevin was looking at a satin cloak that had caught his eye, and wanted to show it to me. He didn't know the price, so I asked the proprieter. It was only $350.00. As the salesman said, he only has to save $1 a day for the next year, and he can come back next year and buy it..
