HuZZaH!!!

The kids and I learned a new word on Friday...Huzzah! We spent the day at the Utah Renaissance Festival. It was a good time! We saw a puppet show and a Magic show, belly dancers, a musician playing the lute, Queen Elizabeth, knife juggling, and most exciting a jousting competition. Huzzah is the word we used as we cheered on our knight, Sir Jason, the one with the blue feathers in his helmet, in the competition. He won, so we must have done our job.



I let the kids each pick out a souvenir, the boys picked swords and Hadlee wanted a parasol. The kids had a great time! My favorite was the jousting competition, Hadlee's was the juggling, Kael's was getting his sword, and Camden's was the belly dancers. Should I be worried???

The kiddos couldn't be content to just go to the festival, they wanted to dress up. So, we rummaged through the house Friday morning trying to throw together what we could. I must admit, I think it was a success! They look pretty good! Hadlee wasn't very happy about the shoe choice, but it was comfort or blisters, so we chose comfort!


We were all very tired by the end of the day, but it was time well spent!
