Texas Renaissance Festival

We drove up to Plantersville this morning for the Texas Renaissance Festival with Aunt Monica. Daddy really wanted to go this year; and Mommy had never been all these years living in Houston (neither had Aunt Monica)! We couldn't ask for better weather--it was cool and sunny. Andrew enjoyed looking around at all the things going on and all the people who were dressed up. We walked around the grounds eating and drinking various things (so yummy!). Andrew even got to see two elephants and two camels up close, but didn't want to ride them. We also watched a parade of people who were working at the festival. Andrew watched very closely and even got scared at one of the costumes (a giant ogre). After the parade, we saw one of the parade participants with her horse. Andrew liked the horse and even petted it.

Later, we came up to a pony ride. I asked Andrew if he wanted to ride the horse several times and he kept saying "yeah". But when I tried to put him on the saddle, he cried. After we walked out, he kept pointing to go back in. Who knows? But by that time, the Jousting Show was about to start so we made our way to the arena. Andrew liked seeing the horses, but the show didn't keep his interests too long. I think he was more interested in some of the kids that were around us. After a while, we left the show and started walking back to the car. Poor Andrew started to fall asleep on Daddy's shoulder. Too sweet. He slept for most of the ride home. He did such a great job and behaved wonderfully! It was a great day with great weather and great entertainment..and can't forget, great food!! We are glad we tried it out.
