Renaissance Festival

On Saturday we went to one of our family's most favorite place to be. The Colorado Renaissance Festival! To my children, this is the equivalent of Disneyland!
Noah and Elina with Twig the fairy.
Lydia and her beautiful French Braided hair with flowers woven into it. Yes, she pulled it out as soon as her Mummi would let her!



Elina and Noah getting their face/arm painted by the same lady we have been going to for 4 years!




Mummi the Fairy Queen!
Lydia CRASHED after a chocolate dipped cheesecake on a stick!
Noah and two knights after the joust show. And then below you will see Poppi bandaging the good knights wounds. Yes, Poppi and Noah wore matching outfits, courtesy of Mummi's sewing talents. She also made her own purple dress!

Elina and Noah were both heavy enough this year to do the jumping ropes. And they had so much fun! Elina was even doing backflips and frontflips like a pro! Noah was a little more reserved, but still had a blast going "really, really high!"

Last video is of Noah in the Washing Well Wenches show! They pick people from the audience to participate and when Noah saw allthe guys raising their hand he jumped right up on the bench and followed suit. ADORABLE!

cache valley cheese factory

On your way from Cedar City to St. George is a little town called Beaver UT. And in Beaver you will find the Cache Valley Cheese Factory. All my life I can remember stopping there with my grandma and grandpa Burnside to get a special treat we called "squeaky cheese". It is really just the fresh cheese curd from the big cheddar batches they process there, but when you chew it it makes little "squeaks". What a treat it was from me to be able to share this with my children as we drove to my grandma's house this summer!
