Renaissance Festival Youtube Vids

If you did not get to attend a Renaissance Festival this year (and if you have high speed internet or a lot of time to wait around, lol), here are some youtube Renaissance Festival videos for you:

Manolete, at Michigan Renaissance Festival last September:
In this video he performs the trick I posted a photo of except that he added more flaming objects this year! He did not do the flaming bolas trick for us though.


The Mudskippers (although this appears to be different actors) at a RenFaire in Florida:


The Zucchini Brothers (both of them, we only saw one) at the MichRenFest in 2007:

Renaissance Festival Pictures

Puppet Show

Suzy at Puppet Show

The Joust - we cheered for the blue and white knight.

After the joust? Hand-to-hand combat.

Manolete

The Mudskippers - reciting Hamlet in an unusual manner.

Hamlet died right behind our kids.
(That's David in the orange shirt and kids we know all along that bench.
James is in the blue shirt in the background.)

Half of the Zucchini Brothers - Lassoed James

And look, he lassoed Suzy and another of our friends too.

Ample and Trite - sang just for us and our friends and then one other family.

They also told us a lot about living in the Renaissance, such as what the purpose of the toys was and also where they went to the bathroom. lol

Look, it's Captain Jack Sparrow. He keeps odd company!

Suzy on the joust ride. James also rode it but I didn't get a good pic.

Swords in the stone.

After 7 hours at the Faire!

Today's word count is 2300 words!
Total word count is 9651.

I haven't even reached the main conflict yet! Augh!

Tomorrow we go to the Renaissance Festival. I will write in the evening and attempt to get 2000 words, but my goal for the week was 10,000 and I am nearly there now! Go me!

Since the story is not complete, however, I will need to keep writing. I would like to still be done by Monday.

I have three Netflix movies to watch and I have been writing instead. Am I crazy?
