| A Day at the Faire Texas Renaissance Festival, 2001 |
| The biggest challenge this year was finding garb to fit over my ever-expanding belly! Sara and Abby joined us again, and we talked them into wearing garb this time, too. It was a great day, with wonderful weather (not too HOT) and the crowds weren't too big. |
| The Birds of Prey is always one of our favorite shows. |
| The girls especially liked the Gypsy Dancers... |
 |
| ...and apparently, so did the King! |
| Of course, no vist to the Faire would be complete without a visit to Sherwood Forest, where we catapulted frogs, shot crossbows, got lost in the maze...and Abby talked Taylor into riding the Dizzy Dragon - twice! |
| New this year were the Enchanted Gardens. The flowers were gorgeous, and there were plenty of places for photo opportunites. |
| We also enjoy watching the artisans. Here the glass spinner makes a dragon. |
| And here a man gets fitted for custom-made boots from Bald Mountain Leather. |
| The parade gives us an opportunity to wave at Royalty... |
| ...and Rogues. |
| We always stop by and try out the Crystal Stix... |
| ...with varying degrees of success. |
| By the end of the day, we're tired, but not too tired to smile! |
| Rob and I stop to pose on an Elfin bridge. |
| The whole gang gets a chance to pose with "royalty". |

 |
| Although it's nice to catch a ride back to the car. |
| I stop by to say hello to Sholo... |
| ...while Sara and Taylor take a spin in the teacups |
| We catch a glimpse of a wedding party headed for the Chapel. |
| The King and Queen graciously pose for us. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| ...Faries... |
| And there's always the chance you'll see something not exactly human...like Gregory the dragon, or even a centaur! |
