This year, we were able to go to the fair with both the Blacks and Floyd and Heather joining us.
This Dapper gentleman brought a fun steampunk vibe.
We met a unicorn!
Devon is showing off his ranger skills.
We stopped to talk to some coin makers. They were fun. Grace traded a trinket for a coin, and Lizzy bought one.
Then we learned about King Henry VIII's wives from the appocathery. She focused on their childbearing. It was interesting, and she was quite delightful.
Here's a accordion player balancing a mop!
We met the soda knight.
This sweet fawn was ecstatic to be asked for her picture. She was radiant. Emily and Henry tried their hand at swordplay. Henry kept hitting the poor man's shins, but to be fair, that's what he could reach the best.
I saw Malcom Reynalds, from Firefly.
The sweet girl who gave us water also gave us some ice for free. Teddy found this fun-shaped piece.
After a bit, we got some lunch, hot dogs for the kids, a loaded potato for Daniel, and some bangers and mash for me. We found some benches in the sun and waited for the joust to begin. I found the Blacks across the way, but they decided to stay there. Heather and Floyd found a seat in the shade. Which was a better idea. I was quite faint after our hour in the heat. Teddy didn't want to eat his hot dog, and Daniel figured out a solution. He helped Teddy put his hot dog on his wand, and he happily ate it after that.
These lovely ladies told us all about lady spies in France.
Grace was knighted.
Henry met a friend and they had a sword fight, until a worker told them that the King had stated that there was to be no fighting on the stage. They quickly moved off.
We left soon after, as the kids were tired. Teddy had a great time. Next year, I should make him a jester outfit. He had a knack for making jests.
