Here There be Dragons ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿฒ

We finally made it to the Renaissance Festival this year! It's been several years since we were there, so it was about time. The weather was perfect, and going with friends always makes it more fun.
So many D R A G O N S!!!








Afternoon entertainment




 Looks like it could be a cute stitching hut.


DH, the only kind of "costume" he'll wear!


On stilts.


Costume change!


The boys shooting blow darts.


Perfect for Halloween, I think they'd make a great fire pit!



Do you see the little bugger?!


There he is, trapped! Quick, stitch away and be free from the frog!


He made a funny face and got to participate.


And one of the best parts? Cheesecake on a stick and key lime pie on stick!


And I only saw ONE mermaid!


After seeing all those dragons, I think I should start one or two from the growing collection I have. These are two of my favourites.


I know many have stitched this one, an oldie but a goodie!


But probably not until after the holidays, I've already got enough to keep me busy for a while.

There is a huge RenFaire going on near us too. I haven't quite encouraged my husband to go to one yet but they look like so much fun! I wonder if there are that many dragons at ours!

A fun time for you all.
I fancy that key lime pie on a stick...yummy

Barb said...

You sure are keeping busy, my friend! How is your Mom doing? I've been praying for her and your Dad. Taking care of my Mom on my own was exhausting for all those months last year, and I'm a spring chicken compared to your Dad. Sorry I haven't been around much....too much going on, but let's try to get together soon! *Hugs*

What a fun day and great pics! I do love dragon charts, that TW will keep you busy for awhile, but it’s worth it.

What a great day! The wheel walker made my palms sweat, and the cheesecake on a stick made my mouth water.๐Ÿ™‚

Looks like a fun day that ended with yummy cheesecake! Look forward to seeing your Dragons in the new year!

What a fun day. All those dragons too. Heaven. I did Stretch a TW freebie and swore to never stitch another TW again haha.

That looks like so much fun! Especially all the dragons. But you should have dressed up too.
I have Dragon of the Summer Sky in my stash. But no new big starts for me until I finish Discworld!
