Another Day in the Realm


Photo-A-Day #3804

Today we went to King Richard’s Faire. This was the 4th year in a row that we have gone for a visit to the Realm. We were given a family four pack of tickets so that we could go and we also gave away a family four pack of tickets. Our opinions are our own.

Like I said, it was our fourth year at the Faire and each year we have a better and better time of it. It is nice to see the same people again and again as we attend the event. We recalled one past visit where Andrew was crying uncontrollably. I was at the very end of my rope and one of the villages of the realm took a moment to come over and let Andrew play his drum. It was such a special moment that we recall each time we visit. We also enjoy visiting Piers the Purveyor of Pickles. We’ve known him for many years now and even when we are not at the Faire we follow along what is happening in his life. Continue reading Another Day in the Realm

Happiness is a Ninja Turtles Ice Cream Bar

Andrew has a milk sensitivity and so he doesn’t get to have ice cream. It upsets his stomach and so we don’t give it to him. I couldn’t refuse him this time. We were at a party and they had an ice cream truck. Andrew was so excited that there was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ice cream bar and I had to let him have it. So far, so good.

We were at a pool party thrown by the mom of one of Eva’s classmates. Andrew and Eva had so much fun swimming and jumping into the pool. Andrew also had a great time playing on a large jungle gym at the house. He had so much fun that he didn’t want to go home. Lots of tears. He was also very overtired. A couple weeks more and we’ll be on a schedule.
