It's Phoenix, Baby! Again! (Part Deux)

On Saturday we went to the Renaissance Festival east of Mesa. It is a huge production (approx 52 acres of shops and entertainment) with twelve different stages of shows going all the time and that is not including the jousting. The kids LOVED it! They didn't have a nap and they didn't throw a fit. That is unheard of! The shows included fire-eaters, tight-rope walkers, singing, playing all sorts or instruments, comedy shows, pirate shows, sword-fighting demonstrations and the list goes on. There were kids rides, play areas and a petting zoo, too.




















Logan and Chase playing with sharp objects. I couldn't be prouder.














The Dragon Castle behind Logan is really a gigantic slide. Super-fast, but Logan went down by himself.








Ok, so I never thought that "stars in his eyes" could ever be a reality, but Logan seriously had stars in his eyes after he met this fairy. He talked about her frequently afterwards and kept trying to get her to stay.


We let them pick out something small from the festival. Reagan picked a butterfly wand, a dragon for Logan, and a lemon slush drink for Chase (food, of course).
