We were able to attend the Renaissance Festival this year. We went with Grandma and Grandpa Obert and had a fantastic day. It really wasn't enough time to even see it all. It was Pirate weekend, so the boys were fascinated with all the "pirates." They had great snacks, saw a couple of shows, went on some rides, and got swords!

They each got to take a shot at a bow and arrow. Patrick really wanted one. Perhaps another time. I think we know what would happen at this stage of life.
