Scarborough Renaissance Festival

Well, Chris and I went to Scarborough Faire, and it was so much fun! We got there right at opening time, and it was not nearly as busy as we thought it would be. Chris's parents and brother went with us. We saw multiple shows including my absolute favorite, "Daniel Duke of Danger". He is a hilarious and amazingly skilled acrobat. We watch him every year without fail. We watched a cool weapons demonstration where I learned why not to wake a Scotsman up in the morning...it involves a very large pointed sword. We were sad that the Mudd Show wasn't there this year; however, one of the actors from the Mudd Show is now "Doctor Kaboom", and his show was great! He combines science and humor to do some really cool tricks. He also explains how guys back in the Renaissance were able to perform "magic" tricks like creating smoke out of genie's bottles. They had some new acts this year in addition to Doctor Kaboom. We saw The German Twins who rap. They were funny. Evidently all Germans are balding (according to them - don't be offended if you are German), so they adopted the men in Chris's family as Germans. The crafts are really neat, and, if you go for nothing else, go for the food! :) Delicious as always. I'll try to post some pictures very soon.
