King Richard's Faire

Renaissance fairs. One of the world's most ingenius inventions. You'd be surprised at how many people actually dress up and are really excited about these things. I am the latter. We used to rent costumes and walk around looking silly.

Today, of course, was just as good as usual, if not better. It consisted of enormous legs of ham, two foot tall glasses of beer, people wearing corsets and carrying swords, deep fried onions, unhealthy amounts of kettlecorn and axe-throwing. Sadly, we did not attend the joust to the death that we've seen every year--which is why we didn't see it this time around.

Here are some pictures that I took throughout the day:

Pirates and peasants, just chilling. Nbd.

The usual daily activities of medieval people. Jousting to the death? I do that every day.

Please note the man on the far right. 

SO. MUCH. KETTLE. CORN.

This is a man who dressed up as the Doctor from "Doctor Who." My cousins simply had to talk to him and have me take a picture. My cousin said that he was trying to go back to the real Renaissance, but the TARDIS took him to a Renaissance fair instead.

They have incredible hats at this place. And clothes. And jewelry. And kettlecorn.

Carrying swords, wearing cloaks and chain mail...yeah.

These two women were HILARIOUS. They had a really funny performance where they had some old guy put on underwear, run down the aisle and shout, "In my man pants, I can do anything!" They're super silly. 

I ate an outrageous amount of fried food today and it made me brain dead. Thank God I don't have school tomorrow. 

Enjoy the day that celebrates the man who didn't actually discover our country!
