I'm sure we're not the only family who each have a chain mail shirt. Since Abram's shirt is on display in his office, he wore mine.
Owen wore his own shirt that Daddy made him for Christmas, and he got LOTS of compliments on it. I even saw a few pictures being taken of him from afar. He wore it almost all day, but he did take it off so he could get in the carrier and nurse to sleep for a bit of a nap.
While Owen napped, we watched a jousting tournament, and Owen woke up to see the last bit of it. He said, "Those are knights. I'm going to fight them with my sword." By the time we actually got to see the mounted knights, he was more in awe of them and their horses and less ready to fight them with his sword. 
We snuck in our own food but tried a bit of mead from the Mount Hope Winery which is home to the faire. It wasn't as good as ours that we made from local honey and wild yeast. Owen and Abram also took a ride on an elephant (yup, not so PC, but Owen loved it).
He told me later that a real pirate took him off of the elephant. We also enjoyed the jesters with the "Untrained Dog Show." Owen liked petting Blockhead the border collie after the show.

The pics are adorable. Owen is so precious sleeping in the sling.

Ben is totally jealous of your trip to the Renaissance Festival. After seeing your pics he is begging me to get tickets to the MD festival. Alas, we will be sans chain mail and cute toddler.

I think it'd be totally hilarious if you went as a nun and Ben went as a priest. When I was pregnant we went to a costume party in Abram's department as the Virgin Mary and the Holy Ghost. It was quite a hit!

Great idea! A large black sheet would fit me quite well these days.
