For those of you who read Leigh's (aka Rosa) blog, yes I know many of the pictures are the same. Well, all I can say is a good picture is a good picture. We had so much fun! The day started cold and damp so I rented a cape. Molly got the bat puppet she wanted. We saw a new show called Barely Balanced Danger Acrobatics that was seriously breath-taking. I showed the pictures to Bruce when we got home and he was amazed and rather put out that he had made the decision to stay up til 6 a.m. on Saturday. Since we got there before they opened, we caught the pre-show where the pirates steal the queen's jewels as ransom to get their ship back from King Henry. (For those who take all of this very seriously, the history is on a rather mushed up timeline. Get over it. It's FUN!) We ended up running into the pirates and the kings court over and over. At one of the fights, all four of the girls got invited to fight in the Battle Chess tournament on the pirates side. Refuse? No way! We love pirates! We saw the Flying Debris show and Blackenshear the Magician. The girls sat thru the Ded Bob show, but Rosa and I have seen it so many times we can recite it. We caught some of the Washing Well Wenches show and the Joust. Ysabel met Da Vinci. Cool! If we hadn't the girls with us Rosa and I would have participated in the Pub Sing at the end of the day. We did try mead for the first time. They have to serve a less alcohol version of it, as we live in Georgia and fun is relatively frowned upon. Rosa said it warmed her quite well. I was very happy with my Gypsy Caravan tea. Mmmmmmmmm............
Everyone fel asleep relatively early last night. Well, we were at the festival at 9:30 and left at ablut 6:30. And it's not a small place... If you're ever in GA any wknd from the end of April thru the first bit of June, you shold check this festival out. Very groovy.
How was your weekend?
