Comfy pants never felt so good

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............. You can never really know comfort until you've been outside at a Ren. Faire all day, in the cold, in a skirt, and experienced the wind whipping around your legs. Then, sitting in a car for three hours. Dang, but that was chilly...... and my butt fell asleep in the car!

So yeah, Maggie, Jen, Clara, Jason, and I all went to the Ohio Renaissance Faire today. It was totally awesome. The girls all went as wenches, and Jason went as a... well, a renaissance dude. On with the photos!

Our side's Knight for the Joust, Sir Sheldon.

JOUST!!!!!!! If you look closely, you can see the lance tips breaking. It is a real joust with real horses, people, lances, and armor. One of the coolest things to watch EVER! T'is a rockin' shot, that one is....

Most of the photos I took are of the joust. I wish I would have gotten more of us and of the village. They have a permanent village set up in Harveysburg that is used just for the Faire, and it's quite a thing to see. We are SO going back next year, so anyone who wants to come is welcome to join us. It's way more fun if you dress up, but we won't make you ;)

The drive back was very...... Interesting. I think some of us were just so tired that everything was funny. Much fun was had by all, and I was really glad to get home when it was all done. I love the Faire and all, but I wanted to put on comfey pants and curl up in a blanket. Oddly enough, that's what I'm doing right now........ hehehe.

Yeah, it's time for bed. Looking back on the whole day, I just have one thing to say.......

I want retractable claws. Failing that... I would like a kick ass sword.
