My wife and I moved to Minnesota in 2001. Since then we have visited the Renaissance festival here each year. It is one of our happier times each year.
Last year when we went, Kazuko was pregnant with baby Kenny. This year we brought Kentaro with us. How cool!
Kenny seemed to have a really good time there.
The only downer of the trip was the traffic getting down there. We were stuck in a two-hour traffic jam on our way down to the festival. This was a first for us, as we usually end up going on the less-crowded days.
Anyway, if we ever end up going after noon again, we'll take an alternate route to get there!
Kenny and I rode an elephant at the festival. Kenny also had a chance to get close to and meet a goose. They even kissed! Once the goose started 'honking' Kenny wasn't so happy, but it was a good contact!
Kenny and I rode an elehant too. That was fun!
Kenny doesn't like shoes or socks. His feet get dirty when we go out! (We bought him two pairs of shoes today.) He has never worn a pair of shoes for more than one hour of his life. I hope that his new shoes are tolerable.
Here are what Kenny's feet looked like after the festival:
