Kansas City Renaissance Festival

This weekend we were entertained at the KC Renaissance festival. We talked to some very interesting characters, ate some great food, rode rides, watched several shows and took in the experiences of the 1500s to early 1600s.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair.

Carter Man was excited to go to the Renaissance festival also.

The jousting competition.

Keke was not real sure of the snakes, but she did pet them after a little persuasion.

This guy was in the parade blowing fire. The parade walked through the streets at the festival.

Tim and Carter hanging out in the shade. It was so hot.

The rides were McKenzie's favorite part of the day. They were all powered by man power. If you look close you can see the three men in the middle pushing the swings.

Tim and McKenzie rode this one. They wound them up and let them go. The ropes had to unwind and then would wind up the other way, doing this several times.

I rode the barrel ride with keke. I was queasy the rest of the day. :-)
