Today we got up early and drove to Tampa for the Renaissance Festival.
To get in for free.. Mommy & Daddy gave blood! Ewwww! Emmerson and I hung outside with one parent while the other had their blood-letting.

When Mommy was done we headed inside and I got a neat dragon painted on my arm. The lady was really nice to me and I held REALLY still.

Daddy caught up with us (after going the wrong way… he forgot what LEFT meant). He snapped a few pictures of my new tattoo! Sorry the pictures are slightly fuzzy, the camera had the wrong settings and Daddy didn’t catch it until later in the day.

There were camel, horse and pony rides. I opted for the pony and the lady let me ride for about 5 minutes. After the ride she took me around and introduced me to all of the ponies. I rode on Zaah-Zee.

I got to make my own magic wand. First I picked a stick.

Then two magic feathers.

Mommy helped wrap the wand with a pipe cleaner.

Then a nice lady tied a ribbon on it.

Then I took it to a WIZARD and he “enchanted” my wand.

I had to stir the magic feathers to wake up the trolls who thusly sneezed on my wand and it was then MAGIC! VERY cool!

After the festival we stopped off at the farm for our weekly veggies. When we got home EVERYONE took a long nap (at the same time). For dinner we had yummy pasta, carrots and cheese.
My thoughts on my dinner… FORKS ARE FOR… NOT ME!
