The Renaissance Faire

On August 15, we took the girls (Kirsti, Rori and Kate) to the Renaissance Faire in Kenosha, which is about an hour and 40 minutes away from Madison. Kate did *fairly* well in the car; I'd say she only screamed for 10 minutes on the way there, and a half hour on the way back. (It seemed like much longer when we were forced to listen to it, however!) Poor thing just doesn't like the car... Anyway, the Ren Faire was so much fun. We saw a bunch of shows and parades, and Kirsti and I had so much fun looking at all the dresses in the shops and imagining that we had enough money to buy some!

Rori and Kate. Kate wore her pink "Princess tutu" dress that she got from my cousin Abby.

Rori on one of her rides; I think it was Leonardo Da Vinci's flying machine or something like that




Rori gets her face painted here every year; it's become kind of a tradition. I love this photo of her and think she looks so cute!


She also has gone on a pony ride almost every year (if not every year) that we've been coming here. I can't remember this pony's name, but we did see Hank, the pony she rode for several years.
