Carolina Renaissance Fair

The Costumes



















We FINALLY got a weekend off! Jay has never been to a fair, so we'd plan to go for some time, but we ended up going on the last weekend of the year. We saw a lot of shows, silly costumes, ate very bad for us food, and Jay and Miah got to ride an elephant (more pictures coming).
I wanted to post a lot of pictures, so I'm going to do several posts, and explain some of the pictures along the way. Enjoy! We certainly did!

The Pumpkin Patch

Jay actually got a Saturday off, so we finally got to go to the pumpkin patch. We'd been planning it for weeks, but he always had Army stuff to do. It wasn't as cool as I'd like, as a matter of fact it was 73, rather than the 60 I'd have liked it to be. But the sun was out and it was nice to get one last sunburn in before the cold weather hits. I was surprised that among all the kid's activities there was a few booths for grown-ups. I got a great pair of Sterling silver and malachite earrings, and a turquoise bracelet that matches a necklace and earring set I already have. That made my day!













Bee Hive!

The wide view of the beginning of the maze...







I love it when people assure me, "The jewelry is all hand made!" Uh, we can tell :)


Duck Race!






On the way home we drove around town. We'd never been in Louisville (pronounced loo-iss-ville, for my Kentucky friends, not Luovlle) Saw a couple of cool houses...



And a trailer with a horse and hound dog chillin in the front yard together!


And the cotton fields, which we'd never seen before.
