Minnesota Renaissance Festival 2013
Sep. 30th, 2013 03:43 pmYesterday we made a totally spontaneous decision to go to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. It was the last day of the season, our timing wasn't great, and I was fighting off a minor cold, but the weather was beautiful and I couldn't resist.
The part about the timing came to bite us when we spent over 2 hours in traffic getting there, when it takes 45 minutes if you leave the Cities at 8:00 am. Note to self: Yes, it really was worth it waking up at the crack of dawn for all these years!
Taking F out there is so much more fun now that she is 4. It's only her 2nd year there, but I think she enjoyed it even more. She was SO EXCITED that there was a ride. It was butterfly swings for small people.
I LOVED the fact that there was a guy pushing this thing to make it go. He was so nice to all the kids, too.
The Herpetological Society has a great setup out there every year. We saw cute turtles and petted some snakes.
( More!! )
So glad we went!
