Renaissance Festival

Trying to catch up on some blogging! Today we are rewinding to February and our trip to the Renaissance Festival in Phoenix. I was a little apprehensive about how we would survive with a 1 month old but we decided to risk it.

Peter some some tattoo's on his arm of stars and spiders! He thought they were the coolest thing ever!


Lots of people at the Ren Fest are dressed up. Peter had just gotten a brand new SuperWhy costume with a mask and cape. He decided that he would wear his costume and he kept it on nearly all day.

It was funny that as we walked around you could tell who was parents because they pointed out "Hey, its SuperWhy!" And always it seemed to be dad's commenting, not moms.


Peter LOVED his SuperWhy outfit.


Dad went on lots of rides with Peter while mom stayed with Wyatt.


We went into a pirate shop to look for some cool pirate things. Out of all the things to be drawn to he went straight to the parasaul and had a great time hiding under it. The vendor liked Peter and gave him a free piece of "gold". Peter had a great time playing with his new treasure.


Peter tried some chocolate...


rested in the trees...


and he had fun riding the rides.


then more food. Yummy pretzels.


Wyatt slept most of the time we were there. I purposely woke him up a few times just to feed him. We stopped for a snack under the trees and laid down in the grass for a while.


We watched lots of show.


More rides...



John spent a good amount of time chasing Peter down. He scared us really bad at one point. I took Wyatt with me into the bathroom and John took Peter in the men's. Apparently just as John unzipped and started going potty Peter decided to bolt and ran out the front door. By the time John was zipped and ran out after him Peter was gone. I came out to frantic John looking for Peter. We divided and spread out yelling for Peter. After about 2 minutes that seemed VERY long another dad brought a crying Peter up to us. So happy for good people.


After a few more games we headed home. The 2 hr ride home took closer to 3 because Wyatt was going crazy in the car. He screamed, cried, had to eat, screamed some more, had a dirty diaper, screamed some more.... We pulled over a lot to try to take care of him. Hope he grows out of that!
