Forsooth!
Em and Mr. Tvini and I went to the Renaissance Festival today. Mr. Tvini heard someone say at the gate, “I love this place because I can smoke everywhere!” Funny, that’s just what I don’t like about it. Seriously, I haven’t seen that many people smoking since the 1970s. It was amazing. I was glad that I left my Jayne hat knitting in the car because there’s no way I could have worked on it out there. Nobody wants a tobacco-y Jayne hat.
We didn’t bring a camera, but Em rode everything she always rides, so you can extrapolate from past pictures (2008, 2006) what this year looked like. This year she also had her hair braided. I did get a picture of that at home. The flash made the copious amounts of glitter look red. The woman who braided it said the style should last several days, so Em’s sleeping on it. We’ll see how it looks in the morning. I think it’ll probably be okay – there’s certainly plenty of hairspray in it.
We stayed for at least four hours and there was definitely more we could have done, had we wished. I drifted off in the car on the way home (I wasn’t driving, obviously) and am totally wiped out. A good time was had by all. We look forward to next year!
That braid is gorgeous! How long did it take?
Maybe ten minutes? There was a big flower in the back, too, but I think it fell off near the elephant rides.
Wow! Emily’s hair looks amazing! And she sat still for the length of time to get it to look that way!?! WOW!!! I’d love to go to festivals like the one you went to but I can’t stand on my leg for long periods. I am hoping to be able to go to them next summer (my big goal!).
Awesome hair, Emily!!!
If you (and the family) have a hankering to go again this year, I’ll be there on Saturday. Hee!
Her hair looks awesome! There was a hairbraiding person at our little faire this weekend too, she looked like she was pretty busy. Glad you had a good time, despite all the smoking.
