We took the kids to the Renaissance Festival for the first time on Saturday. It was an absolutely beautiful day--sunny and 75! Summer is hanging on just a little longer and I love it! We had such a nice summer--not TOO hot-lots of sun and 70s and 80s!
I didn't take a ton of pictures while we were there, but we had a great time walking around, checking out some entertainment, eating some food and playing a game! There isn't a lot of shade or coverage, so it got pretty hot and it was packed!! We were there for about 3-4 hours and when we left there were hardly any parking spots left and cars were lined up on 169 just to turn into the festival!
Nora wore her wings and Bishop wore his Batman cape--lots of people dress up and it's an interesting get together!
The kids visited a fairy and Bishop got a few special treasure coins from her. He wanted to go back to find her to get more! We watched the horses--it wasn't the knight fight, but it was fun to watch! We saw the elephant and llama rides, saw a jousting match, a juggler/entertainer, the tomato throw, the bucket of water dump game and enjoyed people watching. It was a fun day and the kids seemed to enjoy it!

This turtle walked around the fair and followed his owner--it was pretty incredible (and maybe a little sad)?!?
Luke left on Sunday for a week long meeting for work. I wasn't feeling that great and Bishop threw up in the middle of the night Saturday night, but immediately felt better, so we went to church and brunch and then hung out at home the rest of the day. Domino came over to play for awhile, which was fun for Nora.
The kids put together ALL the puzzles we have--I think there were 6 or 8 of them lined up! They loved it!
Luke left around 3:15--we finished putting puzzles together, went to the park, colored some pictures, had dinner, baths a movie and bedtime! It was a good first day/night!

On Monday night we went to Nina's to hang out with Andrew and Jack, as Jesse is at the same meeting as Luke. Their neighbors were over as well and Ashton (who is in Nora's class at school). The kids had a blast running around and playing together!

The kids have been so great so far since Luke's been gone. Every time he leaves things get easier and easier! We all sleep together in my bed, which makes bedtime a little later than usual, but it all works out and for the most part they sleep in a little later (past 7), so that helps!
