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.
