We love the Renaissance Festival and try to go every year. We knew the cousins would have a blast. I was sewing and piecing together costumes until the time we left, but it was worth it. The Oompas looked fabulous! Unfortunately, despite their distinguished looks, it was no easier getting a group photo of them. This was as good as it would get in the 581 shots we took.
Experience taught us to take lots of water. Uncle Daddy carried 2 camel-packs. At least we knew where two of the kids were. Little Miki was probably the most adorable little Princess at the fair, and people made a point of telling her so. Her gown was made from my old purple lace outfit from the military ball disaster that I wrote about earlier this year.
Jo wanted to be a pirate like his older cousins and spent the day before practising his 'Arrrr Arrrr Arrr!'. His sister Talia went as a gypsy, and a very dainty one at that.
Rocky doesn't often wear a dress, and she tried very hard to act like a lady at the fair, but we had to laugh at her sneakers poking out from underneath her gown. Becca dressed as a gypsy as well, but looked like the perfect lady.... until she opened her mouth! Oh well, I guess I haven't been the greatest role model in the 'Lady' department.
These are my other 2 pirates. It was so cool seeing the two boys walking through the fair grounds, many people assumed they were part of the show. A voluptuous wench tried to kidnap Art and one fair-goer tried to get an autograph from Zack, thinking he was Johnny Depp re-living his role as Captain Jack Sparrow.

These are so great! What kind of fair is this exactly? The kids all look like they belong in the show and were in the heck can I get a camel pack at ???? I desperately need one of those, lol. We leave for camping on the 20th and believe me on those 2 mile hicks a camel pack would be a Godsend, lol. Loved the pictures! Brandy
