I missed the Kansas City Renaissance Festival last year because we waited until the very last day to go and it was rained out. I was NOT going to make that same mistake twice! So I grabbed my hubby and my buddies and got there good and early, with a weekend ahead of us to spare, just in case.

The weather was perfect.

AND, once again, we found a way to get in for FREE (thanks to Tyler and his local celebrity).

I love the entire atmosphere. I could live there.

Packaderms!

This was taken for Gillian who, apparently, believes that Jesus' choice mount is a unicorn. I must say, the notion does hold a certain appeal. :)

Bubbles!






You can't really tell what they're selling here (bronze cast statuette fountains), but this was my favorite new shop.


The day wore us out and I caught Greg catching some Zzz while I browsed one of my other favorite shops.

And these are the Sky Chairs - the most comfy outdoor seating in the world! I'm researching them now and hope to have a couple on the porch before November hits.

This is my fav pic from the event. :)

And, finally we attended the Joust! Best acting EVAH! :(

So until next year!
