Opening weekend was awsome.  We camped this year, and had so much fun.  My mother has become hooked on Ren Faires since Scarborough, so she went with us, we also took my brother, his first time at a Ren Faire, and of course my son, his wife, and my youngest daughter.  Iris and Rose were great as usual, and I laughed so hard at the mud guys I really should have visited the privey first.  It seems though, that not as many people are in costume at TRF as they are at Scarborough.  I so love seeing everyone dressed for the occasion.  Sadly we will only be able to make 1 or 2 more weekends as I have surgery comming up in a couple of weeks.  I am determined to actually learn a dance this year, so we really do have to go at least 1 more time this month.
