The 2009 Bristol Renaissance Faire!

Mom can get a little crazy with pictures. Since we went to the Bristol Renaissance Faire numerous times this summer, I suggested that we do only ONE photo album and incorporate all our Adventures in one posting.

Attending the Joust performed by the Hanlon-Lees Action Theatre is simply a no-brainer, but Dirk and Guido, The Swordsmen are also an absolute must see.

I do like music, but come on! When there's ships to be sailed who can pause to listen to tunes?! BUT for my mother's sake I'd like to make note of her favorite muscians, The New Minstrel Revue and T.J. Hull, Fiddler.

As always, we had a wonderful time. Many thanks to Bristol and we'll see you next year!

Bristol Renaissance Faire

This past Sunday we headed to the Bristol Renaissance Faire. It will be the first jouney of many this summer because this place is the bomb! I was exceptionally mad at mother for having to leave a four o'clock. I won myself 3 days without videos for my complaint but she's just got to be shown that leaving before being kicked out is UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Ahem...in my 4 years of experience there are so things at the Faire simply not to be missed. Hanlon-Lees Action Theatre Jousters are a no brainer. The skill tests are okay...but when they really get down to some serious fighting is the best part!

However, even over the Joust, The Swordsmen! Dirk and Guido are by far win the Best of Faire Award. They are hilarious! And the sword fighting is absolutely amazing! They will make you gasp and then laugh until your sides ache!

Other attractions I recomend are the large Pirate ship on the water. It does cost extra to board, but I could stay there all day! You can swab the deck, dress as a pirate, cook in the galley, raise the flag, shoot the water cannon and get splashed by treasure. An older boy thought it was boring...I have no idea WHAT he is talking about!

The pirate ship in the Kid's Kingdom is also awesome! And don't miss the Fairies either! However is you're looking to find a pint sized costume like mine, you're going to have to ask my mom about it. She made it.

Bristol Renaissance Faire though is definately gets a Tynan 5 Star Rating!

2008 Bristol Renaissance Faire

My mother has always loved the Bristol Renaissance Faire. She knows like EVERYONE there! Patrons, actors, merchants, all kinds of people! This year she dressed Nuch and I up in costume and took us there.

Our favorite of the shows were the acrobatic team Barely Balanced and of course The Joust performed by The Hanlon-Lee Action Theatre. There is just so much to do and see there it takes more than one day! I want to go back! This definately gets a Tynan Five Star Rating!!
