Sherwood Forest

Michael and I drove an hour to the Sherwood Forest Ren Fair yesterday. We had a great time. The weather was perfect. It was cool, sunny and only got into the mid seventies. We met up with Zach and Elizabeth and their kids there. We rode the giant swing, saw a cool falcon show, watched a hand-to-hand combat show during which Michael got chosen as a judge, bought the boys costumes (they are Robin Hood and Little John), ate yummy vegan food, drank wine, watched a dog show and much more. The boys' favorite activity was shooting bows and arrows at a target and beating each other with pillows while standing on a log. Elizabeth threw knives and both she and Michael threw tomatoes at a heckler. Michael and I are inspired to get costumes ourselves. Michael spent yesterday evening researching steampunk costumes. We had a great time. I highly recommend it!
