Ren Fest

Last weekend, we went to the Maryland Renaissance Festival. The last time we went was three years ago when I was pregnant with Amedeo.

Food is a big attraction. Here I am eating the required smoked turkey leg. Amedeo has his face full of fried mushrooms.


We thought we were about to see jousting. They were just riling up the crowd for jousting later. Phooey on them!



Amedeo wasn't worried about not seeing any jousting when he could go on a gigantic slide! He loved it and wanted to go again again!


Here he is on his first pony ride. As the pony walked, Amedeo was telling me, "this pony is SLOW. we are going SLOWLY!"


Amedeo fell asleep at 4pm. I tried to wake him at 5:30 with flash photography, loud music and gentle shaking. He was out cold!
