A New Way of Experiencing Faire

This may not be the way we used to enjoy Scarborough Faire, but for this time of our lives, this is what we enjoy most.  No, we are not dressed in garb and we are not thoroughly enjoying hanging out with crew.  But we are showing our children another side of life while dressed really comfortably.  Oh and just in case you were wondering, this way is way more expensive!
We met our friends Chuck & Jenn with their boys and Gary & Julie with G3.  Tbe big boys enjoyed "jousting" and then had a balloon sword fight. 
They were dressed all in a thick battle leather, with balloons attached to each shoulder and on top of the head.  The goal was to pop all the balloons of all the opponents without getting your own balloon popped.  Surprisingly Riley beat all the boys, including Brandon the oldest.  But they did make Brandon fight with one hand behind his back.
We enjoyed several shows that day, something we almost never do!  We loved the fire whip show, were surprised at how provocative Don Juan & Miguel had become, and Alex loved to watch the dancers.

But of course no day would be complete without souvenirs.  Alex just begged for her own fairy wings that came complete with fairy dust sprinkled on you.
