The highlight of the week was a trip to the Renaissance Festival on Thursday. We visited the Renaissance Festival last year on education day and had an absolutely wonderful time. At that point, we were right in the middle of a huge unit study about the Middle Ages so it fit in perfectly with what we were doing. This year, we visited just for fun. My daughter, in particular, desperately wanted to go to the festival again.
The children couldn't resist trying out their skills on the rope ladder. Neither of them could best the rope ladder. They were both flipped off before they could reach the top. The whole time the two older ones were trying, Duncan kept asking to try it, too. I didn't think he could do it so I discouraged him but he kept asking so...
we paid the $2.00 fee and let him try. Duncan made it all the way to the top! The "peasant" working at the rope ladder said that he was the only one to make it to the top all day.
Amber climbed all the way to the top of the tower and rang the bell. We were quite impressed with her climbing skills. Those uber-powerful arms of hers are good for climbing as well as swimming!
We laughed and were amazed by the antics of "Daniel, Duke of Danger." We so enjoyed his show last year, we had to see him perform again.
The children did a bit of shopping. Amber purchased a lovely princess hat with matching bracelets. 
Mason purchased an unique die from an elf.
We ended our day with a rousing good time at the joust!
A fun day was had by all at the Renaissance Festival!
