When I was in college – I saw a poster for a Student Activities trip – to the Renaissance Faire. I thought – my dad would LOVE that! I wonder how much it costs. I checked – $5 for me and $10 for my dad. SERIOUSLY?! That covered the fee into the Faire and the bus ride down!<\/p>\n

That was 10 years ago! TEN YEARS! We went with the college up until they changed the policy on who could go. Then we made our own trip!<\/p>\n

It’s kind of like Christmas for my dad. He saves all year and makes a suit of armor. We watch glass blowing – eat giant turkey legs and soup in a bread bowl – get cinnamon almonds for the trip home – bid at the pirate auction. The first year we went – it was just the two of us. We watched the glass blowing demonstration – they made a pumpkin. I’ve always wanted one and since this year was our anniversary – I got TWO!<\/p>\n

We were hesitant about bringing Fitzy – but he did FANTASTIC! He slept a little on the way down and chatted with grandpa. Walked around the park or caught a ride on shoulders. Posed for pictures and roared like the dragon he was! He took a nap in the afternoon and met a little friend who shared her goldfish and some kisses. He slept almost the whole ride home – we tired him out!<\/p>\n

Belinda let me borrow her dragon costume!<\/p>\n

Make up artist – I am NOT. But it worked – till it got warm anad melted off!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The dragon and the knight he defeated!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It got REALLY warm – so the dragon turned into a pirate!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He was too little to ride the elephant – maybe in a few years!<\/p>\n

Fitzy met this little girl on our trek around the park. He loved her.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love these pictures! It’s just a mango Slush Puppie people!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We switched to the dragon costume I had originally bought because it was a little lighter and I would have felt horrible if he got the one from Belinda all sticky!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On our way out of the Faire – we had SO much fun!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He is TOO big!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The dragon and the knight – friends after all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
