Michigan Renaissance Festival

This weekend Sarah came up to Michigan to see her boyfriend, Donnie, who is staying at a KOA while working on a project this summer. We went up Saturday and camped at the KOA. The Michigan Renaissance Festival started this weekend and is literally around the corner from the campground, so we decided to check it out! I had heard of it before but didn't really know what it was. We were really impressed and had a really good time! It is very entertaining. All Ben cared about were the pirates and swords. 

The first show we saw when we walked in was the men jumping into a mud pit. 

 I presume it is good for the complexion...
 Then we stopped to get some food. Donnie had a turkey leg, in true Renaissance fashion. But he turned from the camera.

 Donnie bought a few souvenirs, including these steam conductor goggles and top hat. They were fetching on Ben. 


 LOTS of people dressed in costume! Some were good, some, not so good. Some, not so PG either.
 Ben was a good boy for the most part, so he got a reward of his very own sword. He had to put it in his shorts to carry, just like Jake on Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
