Western WA Ren Faire

We got decked out and went to the new (but not improved) Western Washington Ren Faire.

They didn't have one at all last year, and this year it was in a new spot. The location was ok, but the event seemed kind of run down and deflated.

There are some new events starting up in the area, so we will probably check those out.

Shrewsbury Faire in Oregon

Went to the Shrewsbury Faire in Oregon last weekend to get our Ren Faire fix.

A good time was had by all.

Then we drove up the Oregon Coast on our way home.

We saw people from far lands.
Strange Creatures.
Even a few sad Fairies.
But the Larsen Clan had a grand old time at the Ren Faire.

Yes, we took the dogs. Biscuit was there.
And Riki. Washington Ren Faire is one of the few that welcomes pets. Huzzah!

Siona had some plastic surgery done to her ears, with real plastic.

Siona Elf Maiden of the Forest. Very fetching. Many of the warriors were checking her out.

Chani mastered the art of archery.
She hit the bullseye.
She defended the relm with sword and shield.
Chani, too cool for words, as always.

Chani of Sherwood.
Lady Evelyn.
Courtly Love. There is nothing like kissing a man in a kilt (so I am told).
Siona Greycloak.

Took the family to the Washington Renaissance Faire in Purdy.

Drove across the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

Had a great time.

Took lots of pictures.
