Come Hither, Thou Fair Maiden

On Saturday we drove to Oklahoma to the Medieval Fair in order to get ideas for a preteen retreat we are hosting this fall as well as got in a necessary visit with PandaPop's grandparents who are not doing well at all. We had a fabulous time as a family, but also missed out on a special 13th Birthday Blessing time of my BFF's son whom we have known since he was two. We already had this weekend planned and needed to get to PP's grandparents or else we would have gone. I know they were blessed and had a great time.

PandaGirl was just darling in her dress and headpiece. With the wind blowing her dress and the ribbons, I just LOVE these pics of her in the middle of the Medieval Fair atmosphere. Let me tell you that if you have never experienced this kind of festival....let's just say that VERY interesting people come out of the woodwork for this stuff. LOL!

And as a final indulgence...THIS is what we saw entirely tooooooo much of...and I'm not speaking of the pottery. wink, wink. If we saw the top of one breastage then we saw 100! Seriously, people, one set even looked like toothpaste which had been squeeeeeeeezed out the top of the tube and just plopped over the edge. Nothing sexy about it. I just might not ever brush my teeth again.

BTW: I am completely aware that my musical selection is not even remotely close to being from the "Medieval" time period, but none of those composers were available on my music choices and this was the closest I could get to sounding courtly. ; )
