Renaissance Festival






























We celebrated Labor Day this year at the Renaissance Festival with 7 exchange students from Thailand! Two were celebrating birthdays and so Looknam and I baked cupcakes to share with these AFS students for this impromptu birthday celebration.


It is always fun to turn back the clock 500 years, journey to Canterbury England and share in the merriment associated with the medieval days of pirates, princesses, and wenches. The boys loved the sword battles and jousting. And who doesn’t love a good turkey leg lunch and a funnel cake. But this year it was especially fun to see how foreign students reacted to the “Old English” of the many “actors” in the park. The weather was perfect this year and it was a delightful day all the way around!
