Bella's first order of business was to purchase a crown of flowers. Second on her list was finding a Renaissance Festival dress - which she selected off the rack all by herself, discovered that it fit perfectly, and declared it hers. She didn't even want to take it off after trying it on, so of course we had to buy it for her. This turquoise dress is now her very favorite outfit.
Gabi and I also tried on some Renaissance attire.
Gabi took pictures of me in Renaissance garb:
We watched jousting, musical performances, and silly acrobatics.
The girls needed to cool off in the fountain.
The girls enjoyed petting animals, riding the butterflies, and playing on a playground in the Children's Realm.
Peek-a-boo, Kati!
Gabi discovered the flying boats, and she and Bella climbed in one named "Caterina" because it sounded like their baby sister.
Bella rode a llama (or is that an alpaca?).
The girls even met royalty!
Gabi made a candle with waxy "sand" art.
Michael shot a crossbow.
Overall, it was a very fun day! We stayed until the grounds closed, and everyone was exhausted.
I think Kati's favorite part was seeing the birds of prey. She can even say "owl" now, in addition to signing bird and imitating various bird calls. Unfortunately, my camera battery died before I got a picture of her watching the birds.
