The Renaissance faire is always one of my favorite spring time activities to do with the whole family. But of course we have a very busy spring so it seems to get harder and harder each year to get there. The kids love it so I think we will have to make it a priority. This year we were joined at the fair with my parents. The got a chance to see the kids enjoy something they introduced my brother and I too when we were kids. I know they have gone with us before but now that the kids are older it is so much more fun, to see how excited they get over the fun, food and games. We did things a little differently this year, we gave each of the kids an allotment of money and that was theirs for the whole day. Once it was gone they were all done. Mom and Dad were not going to pitch in any more money. Barrett had to learn the hard way what that meant. But in the end it all worked out and they still had lots of fun. They were asking to go back as we were leaving. If only we could scrape out two weekends to go to the fair. Maybe in the fall we can go down to Plantersville.
