Hazzah!!!

When Tim and I were first dating he took me to my first Renaissance Fair at Glen Helen. We went a couple of times and had a blast. When we first moved up to Utah we went to a St. Patrick's day parade and found out that Utah has a renaissance fair too. We thought the kids would love it, and they did. This was the second year we went. Ammon and Emma wanted the face painting. Ammon opted out for his arm and got this really cool spider and Emma had her face painted like a beautiful butterfly.
Brigham and Teancum decided they didn't want anything in hopes of maybe getting a souvenir later in the day.
Our favorite thing to watch at the fair is the full contact jousting. These guys compete all over and look just like you'd imagine them back in the day. They use real lances and hit each other very hard. It is amazing to watch.Before the "knights" start fighting they pick a beautiful maiden out of the crowd. Emma was picked to represent our knight.Here is the flower he gave her. She was so in excited..........and so the tradition continues, Hazzah! Hazzah! Hazzah!
