We've been studying the Middle Ages in history, so we took time this year for a field trip to the Renaissance Festival in town.

As we approached, Joshua was greeted by a man who asked his name. When he didn't respond, he said "Poor lad, you have no name, so I shall call you Sir Ralph and we shall be friends!"


Josiah quickly connected with some of his friends from co-op: Justin (with a staff) and Colin.

Sarah got to hold the goose, Princess Buttercup. We were told she was waiting for the Dread Pirate Roberts (if you're clueless, watch or read Princess Bride).

A falconer showed us Dash the falcon, an owl named Archimedes, a boa constrictor named Julius Squeezer, and Igor, a vulture.

We enjoyed a harpist who played beautiful music,
a joust,

and even Dextre Tripp, who performed amazing feats (see video)!
