Getting her face painted!
Listening to a guy play the bagpipes. He spoke with us afterwards and I think I only understood a couple of words. Kind of sad for me.
Maze!
Ally on the BIG trampoline. I thought she was going to cry once she got going, but she settled into it and enjoyed it once we said she was flying so high like a fairy. The guy would pull her down and spring her up into the air - the girl was really flying.
"Look! Docker Whoo's house!"
Side Note: "Cast members" at the Ren Fest are very friendly to little kids. Most would ask for "the little Princess's name." Ally finally caught on that they were referring to her. She would shyly respond, "Allyson Frances Kelso." It's the first time I've heard her tell people that, especially saying the full "Allyson." Usually she just says "Ally" and rarely adds the "Frances" or the "Kelso." She gave the whole thing all day. That will prompt some new conversations with her about stranger safety but it was really very cute.
The Secret Garden, with fairies (they did a great job interacting with the guests) and little fairy houses all around. I got a few pictures of some of my favorites.
There were LOTS more that were pretty unique and interesting, but my camera was having trouble.
Petting Zoo.
Mermaid Cove!
The mermaid "spoke" to Ally. It was really nice.
The Fairy Gifts that she was given in the Secret Garden.
I didn't get pictures of the incredible crepes that we had before leaving. And, you must get a bag of their fresh kettle corn. We finished off the entire bag later that night while watching "Over the Hedge."
Another successful trek to the Ren Fest. We'll be heading back (just the adults) later this season so that we can do more of the shopping and adult activities. Indulging the kids for a day was pretty fun to though.
Looks like a fun outing! Ally is so cute telling her whole name!
