Renaisance Fair

Emily and left the cold north and came down to the Mesa valley. On our way down, Josh called Emily and said he and his parents were at the Renaissance Fair and that they had an extra ticket.
So, off we went to the Fair! I mainly wanted to see the naughty nuns, which I was told that it was the 'Hey Nunnie Nunnie' show...they are hilarious! While sitting there, a gentleman in a wheelchair at the side watched Emily and I. He said later that he wasn't always staring at us, as we were sitting next to his daughter, but said that he was an old photographer and Emily and I needed to go get our portrait done as our resemblance was uncanny! We laughed, but did one of our own.













We then dragged Josh to ride the elephants with us. His dad took pictures...of a fly, himself, the elephant's forehead...but he did manage to get some of us! When we were waiting for our elephant to finish drinking, the one next to us decided to 'sniff' us out. Josh and Em were not too thrilled at this!












We saw the wild mud men and the sword swallower, who managed to completely swallow a 4-foot long balloon. He burped and told us we didn't want to be around when it came out!
























Em and I are now waiting for the roads to be cleared of snow before traveling back north.
