We recently went to the Michigan Renaissance Festival. Have you ever been to a Renaissance Festival? If you haven't, it is so much fun. If you haven't, it will be super duper duper fun. Here are some photos that my mom took. I will tell you about each one.

Here is a kids ride, I thought the dragon was cool. It looks spinny (that's a joke).

Bear Knight

Copper Dragon Fire

Smith's glasses (he makes handcuffs)

Horse for jousting

I like the unicorn and dragon canes. The Viking, too!

Watching the glassmaking was fun.

This glass is cool. The handle is called Dragon Scales.

My mom liked this picture.

Majestic lion in the house.

The food is good, and the sellers are fun.

Jousting was my 2nd favorite thing to see there.

This was the opponent of our Blue Jousting Guy.

The Blue Jousting Guy was hilarious. He told us to Yell when he did something Awesome, and BOO when the red guy did something.

The flags are awesome.

Lots of boots for sale!

Magic flags

The dragons are fun. People are supposed to throw darts at this poor dragon, and I didn't do that because I felt bad for him. It wasn't a real dragon!

Beautiful jewelry. If you have a messy room, they can get lost.

She painted my face, I am lucky. She painted a dolphin splashing.

This was my favorite part. You are supposed to rock and if you pull harder, then you go higher. Dad had a strong grip on it. I was laughing.

This is a great place to go for kids!! I had so much fun. It was so cool! I liked the colors, and the kids activities. A fairy told me I was a real princess (I already knew that). I was sad when we had to go home.
