Renaissance Festival

A few weeks back, there was a Renaissance Festival in Las Vegas. Mommy & Daddy always enjoyed going to the one in New York, so we thought we'd give this one a try.

While it was quite large, and there were a lot of people in costume, very few people were actually in character (not quite the same when you see the village wench talking on her cell phone or the town drunk checking his watch).

Ahhh, yes. I believe Miller Lite was the official sponsor of the original Renaissance.

Some of the characters and theater set.

Alexis checking out the program.

The King's throne (I assume - we never actually saw the King).

Revolutionary war cannons - getting our timeframes confused gentlemen?

Some characters by the water.

More stages.

This guy had a bird show, where his birds flew around and took money that people held in the air - sounds like a scam to me.

I'm really not sure what these two were supposed to be.

Jester.

Juggling.

Medieval Jenga anyone?

Some of the tents.

More tents.

Crazy snake lady.

With all the inconsistencies, Alexis didn't seem to mind. She still had a great time hanging out by the water with Mommy & Daddy.

King Putt

There's a great little miniature golf place in Vegas called, "King Putt".

We like it, because it's all indoors, so no matter how hot or cold it is, it's still fun.

So, a couple of months ago (I really will get caught up on here), Mommy & Daddy decided to take Alexis there.

As you can see, it's all lit by blacklights, but Alexis had no trouble making her way around the course.

And, she enjoyed climbing on the animals.

Nice shot, Daddy!

Blocking Mommy's shot.

Daddy and Alexis with King Putt, himself!

I won't put up the final score, but let's just say Daddy wasn't too pleased when we left there, but he was a good sport (mostly).

Too Long

It's been way too long since I updated, so here are a couple of cute pictures to start with, and hopefully they will inspire me to keep going...
