Ren Fest

After the Lemm 5K, we hit the road to the Texas Renaissance Festival because our friends had gotten us free tickets.

I'd been to a Ren Fest up in Dallas, but never the one down here.  We got there around 11.  It is a huge complex.  Really impressive, and really nice.

We found our friends, bought steak on a stick, which Z looooooooved (like seriously, cave-baby loved, lunging for the stick and using her teeth to rip the meat off, loved), then caught a parade and a show.

Then we wandered around looking for food again.  I ended up with fried alligator (you guessed it, on a stick).  OMG, the beer batter on that baby was AMAZEBALLS.  I also had some super-yummy sweet potato tots, nomnom.

Then we all wandered around for a while.  There was a swing ride.

And then the boys decided they wanted to shoot arrows and throw stuff.  We all know I'm a boy at heart, so Z and I stayed with them.

Met back up with the girls for some belly dancing, then took off at 6pm.  Baby (napless, of course) was asleep before we hit the car.  Success!
