Sherwood Forest Faire

A couple of our best ideas lately have come from answering the question, "I don't know, what do you want to do today?" A few weekends back it was a last minute trip to the San Antonio Zoo. This Sunday it was to the Sherwood Forest Faire. It was one of those Rennaissance Festivals where people dress up and talk and act like they are from Medieval times. I've never been to one and it was 2 for 1 day. So we went.

Lily did great and seemed entertained by everything that was going on . She even napped for an hour on the way there and in the carrier for another hour while we were walking around. Sadly there are no pictures of her since she was in the carrier while I took most of these.

We saw a falcon show (with a trained vulture and an owl too!), a jousting competition and a knife juggling act. Wade also got to try out a bow and arrow, ride a pony and go for a ride on this really large swing. It was such a fun day, but we kind of attacked it wrong. We headed away from the kids area and only passed through there at the end... Oops! But we will definitely go back now that we know the lay of the land. Maybe we'll even dress up ;)

Swinging really high!

Whoa!

A little closer to Dad this time.
