An Experience

Since Tad and I had a thing for the medieval club at BYU we decided we needed to experience the Renaissance Festival here in Texas. Apparantly those people who live, breathe, eat, and sleep medieval/fantasy do have an outlet after college. This place was crazy and a fun experience. It was more medieval to me than renaissance and I was reminded why it was called the Dark Ages. We were warned to not stay after dark and I can only imagine with some of the wild stuff we saw midday. We went with some friends who recently moved to the Houston area and had a good time.

Oh, and don't think we didn't ride an elephant!

I was wishing we dressed up. I saw some amazing costumes. About half the people there were in costume, and some of them really get into this. Like this girl...

Or these people...

And this boy...

Krissy...this kid one upped you. You've got a new challenge. He could also put both legs over his head and stand on his hands.
