Renaissance Fair

Thursday, May 28, 2026

Sunday was a relaxed day. We went to church with Brandon and his kids and then we hung out and enjoyed each other’s company. If I remember correctly, Sydney hung with us for a bit and then disappeared to another graduation party.

We played games and I set up a water jet “T” ball sprinkler thing that was quite fun. It was also fun just hanging out with the grandkids.

Monday was our last day in Texas. Sydney and Hayley were YCL’s for their girl’s camp and headed to camp Monday morning. Lisa and I drove them to their drop off point and hugged them both goodbye. We then packed up the rest of the kids and headed to a Renaissance Fair that was going on.

The Fair was pretty much a twin to the ones they have in Phoenix but perhaps a little bigger with a few more attractions.

It was also hot just like the one in Phoenix. We had a lot of fun. Brandon slaughtered anyone who would accept his challenge in sword fighting... 

and the girls got their hair braided.

As we were walking to our car to go home, we saw a huge thunderhead coming our way. Our car wasn’t close, so we kept gauging the distance. Luckily, we were unlocking the car when the rain started coming down. It was a fun day but as soon as we got home, we loaded up the car, kissed the kids goodbye and then Brandon and Ally took us to the airport. For some reason it feels like we’ve been gone for a month. I guess that’s what happens when you’re having fun.

While Mt Everest is the tallest mountain when measured from sea level. Mt Chimborazo in Ecaudor is the mountain that is closest to space. Because the earth bulges at the equator, sea level in Equador is higher than sea level in Tibet.
