Last Saturday we enjoyed a visit to the Renaissance Festival!
One of the funny things to do is watch the bawdy shows available at every turn at the festival --- the Tortuga Twins is a favorite.
With audience participation they do a naughty version of Robin Hood!
You never know what will turn up while shopping at the different booths.
All the kiddies want to ride the elephant --- including me!
Or another ride on the a butterfly?
Tripp walks the rope and stops for a rest.
We all loved the belly dancers doing the Skirt Dance.
Besides belly dance, they collect money from the crowds.
A knight gleams in the bright sunlight.
The roaming street performers enjoyed their work.
Alison hooks up with Captain John Sparrow, Jack's older brother!
A giant turkey leg quiets my tummy while I watch the crowds --- many come dressed for the festival.
This beautiful rocking horse, always full of children, stayed in motion.
The Ded Bob show was one of the most ribald I've heard in a long time! Some families walked out, dragging their children behind them, after Ded Bob told the children they were all accidents.
More sparkling do-dads begging for our money!
Since the best man wins, our french man on the right, loses in the bloody sword fight.
This Ent, a walking tree, seemed to enjoy scaring little people.
In addition to street dancers and performers, many musicians entertained visitors in the festival village.
After a great day, we had a gorgeous sunset that kept changing and turning more red with each passing second!
