Renaissance Rex

Sunday, I traveled to Hammond, LA with Mommy, Daddy, Parrain Ben, and Aunt Kristi for the Renaissance Festival.

I really enjoyed it. I got to see all kinds of interesting people dressed up like knights, maidens, wizards, elves, and much more. There were also lots of men in skirts, even some that were in a band and performed on a stage. I really liked them. Mommy says those are special skirts called kilts.

I got to sample some yummy things, too. I ate some of Mommy's turkey leg and some of Aunt Kristi's cheesecake on a stick. Mommy said she doesn't remember there being cheesecake in any of her history lessons on the Renaissance. Whatever- it was delicious!

My absolute favorite part of the faire was the jousting demonstration. I got really psyched up by the cheering crowd and decided to join in. Even though our champion lost, it was still a great show.

At the end of the day, Daddy bought me my very own sword and shield. Don't worry, they are made of wood and the sword is very blunt. It was getting late so I was too tired to try them out. When I do, I'll be sure to share some pictures with you.

Here are some highlights from the trip:

Parrain and Daddy have a duel....Daddy won.

The Lost Boys perform their last show of the faire. I think I'm gonna ask Santa for a kilt. Do you think he'll bring me one?

Wow, did you see that?


Go Sir Victor!
