Big Events

Shane here, Well, it's official! Yesterday we closed on our new house. The timeline was interesting, we listed our current house on Memorial Day weekend and we closed on the new house on Labor Day weekend. Our current house is scheduled to close on the 14th. Life is moving very very fast.

In the mean time, Grandpa brought over a riding lawnmower that he found and was able to get working. This will be a life saver. The kids really got a kick out of riding it.



Later we went to the Renaissance Festival where we saw a Joust. Was it the parade of interestingly dressed revelers that caught the attention of the kiddos? Was it the "battle" of trying to un-horse the opponent? No, clearly, the most interesting part of the whole thing was the horses (ponies as Julia insists).


Of course anytime you have kids who watch Disney, they have to see the princesses and the queens and we were lucky enough to get around just as the king and queen were heading out from the joust. They were very nice and the queen even gave little trinkets to the kids (safety pins with beads and a crown charm).
