On Saturday the four of us, (I know, seems SO crazy to say the "four" of us!) along with Matt's dad and his girlfriend, went to the Maryland Renaissance Festival. If you have never been, it's quite an experience. People in elaborate costumes, vendors selling everything from pottery, to furniture, to metal bras and cups (yes, that kind of cup), and the most delicious food this side of the Texas State Fair! It's quite the scene of course, but also lots of fun. We watched a few shows, took in a jousting competition, watched Grandpa test his skills at the hatch throwing booth, and played on the playground (Jack's first time on the big boy swing). Jack even got serenaded by a Renaissance Irish band. And, the part that made Mommy the most excited - Jack had his first pony ride!!! I hope he liked it! He smiled the entire time! Mommy would be SO happy if he wanted to ride ponies all the time! Emma pretty much snoozed the day away - except when Jack poked her in the face - we are still getting used to the double stroller thing! We ended the night with a delicious dinner - the 6 of us and my parents - and a bottle of Dows 1980 port - to celebrate my birthday of course!
A few fun pictures of the day...
