More Hoggtowne

Here are more pictures as promised from the Ren Fest, for short. There was elephant rides, as you can see in the background. The barrell ride in the foreground. No mechanical functions, only the long haired guy and his brute strength. He would push the barrel and grab the ropes and give it a twist. Here is a pirate. There were lots of these roaming around and even some female ones.

I absolutely love these dresses!

This is a real parrot on her shoulder!

Yes, that's a tankard, and yes that's beer.

My son is looking through a huge kaleidescope. This thing was great.

This lady is playing on an instrument. She let my son play on it also.

This is the whole king's court on the human chessboard.

Dusty found this metal chainmaille outfit. Now he wants one! We had a great time. We were there for a whole day and still didn't get to see everything.

Hoggtowne Rennaisance Faire

My son and I, along with a group of friends, attended the Hoggtowne Rennaisance Faire in Gainesville, Florida. This was our first time and we plan to go next year. Here are a few photos from that day and I'll post a few more tomorrow. If you've never been to one of these, you don't know what you're missing!
