Check these guys out!



Gotta love the fall, right? These little box elder bugs have made themselves right at home in my backyard!

2008 Renaissance Festival

So, better late than never, right?

The weekend of 9/6/08, Koleen, Mia, and I headed to Holly, MI for the Renaissance Festival. Mia was so excited, she got to get her Halloween costume early so she could wear it there. First, she wanted to be a witch, but after Koleen and I convinced her that a witch would be hung or burned at the stake at the Renn Fest, she went with the Renaissance Princess costume. :)
She did enjoy the attention from people and random passers-by bowing at "Her Heiness". It was great fun!

This is a picture of "Her Heiness" waiting for her Starbucks in Target. :)


Mia got to meet this fancy Fairy Princess lady.



And of course, Koleen and I enjoyed our favorite belly dancing ladies. We got there kind of late in the day, so we didn't get to follow them from stage to stage, but we did enjoy our 1 performance. "lla..lla..lla..lla..lla..lla..lla" :)

The weekend just also happened to be themed "Wine, Romance, & Song", so we got to enjoy a bit of wine tasting too. And of course, the much anticipated turkey legs!

Good times had by all!
