Absolutely picture perfect day. We had a grand time at the festival. We ate turkey legs for lunch. The kids rode the carousel (completely people-powered). We played some games - Caleb and Daddy did archery and Caleb and Alana shot ping pong balls out of mini crossbows. We saw the jousting, mud wrestling, acrobats, and sword fighters. We went home tired and happy.
Top photos - Caleb and Daddy having a "pyllow fyght," kids on the carousel (Alana can only be seen from the back, in the red chair). Next row - Caleb doing archery, Alana in her princess hat. Bottom row - Larry throwing an axe, Alana on a horse (I couldn't believe that she was completely fearless when riding this huge horse - a future equestrian, I'm sure).
Side note: we spent a small fortune at the festival last year, so this year we tried a different approach - everyone was allocated $20 for entertainment and souvenirs (Mommy paid admission and Daddy covered the food and drinks). I managed Alana's allowance (and, full disclosure, I let her go over her allotment), but Caleb really impressed us with his money management - he kept track all day of exactly what he'd spent and made careful choices to stay within his allotment. He was amazing!
