They even got to fight a fire breathing dragon upon entering the castle gates.
We headed to Gentleman John's place first, where Garytt made his own jump rope.
Then we watched some battle sparring on stage. The actors asked the boys to come up and participate but they were a bit too scared. The enjoyed watching though.
We found an archery station and Garytt and Westyn were really excited to try it out!
We watched a little more sparring in the field.
Then we heard an announcement that kids could help dress a real knight. So, we headed over to see what that was about.
It was a bit of a slow process to get the knight dressed and lost of bigger kids were helping. So, the boys tried on some of the helmets they had out on display. The helmets were much heavier than expected but the boys thought it was so fun to put them on.
The boys eventually got a turn to help put on some of the armor.
The knight is finally in his complete armor.
I went to stand in line to get some lunch while the boys went to go check out some musicians.
I think the boys really enjoyed the Ren Fest. But soon it was time to head home for a nap. I hope it works out that we can go again next year!
