Wrap up of Knights and Castles

The family and I went to the Maryland Renaissance Festival yesterday to wrap up our unit study on Knights and Castles. Fortunately, it was a fairly nice day for it! We watch guys swallow swords, joisting, how to be a Knight, tried to learn to juggle, watched jesters and story tellers.

The guy that swallowed swords, spoons, and balloons!

Stockades!
Sign says Glutton!

Next three photos are
from the jousting arena.
It sure was warm in that area with
no shade. Can you imagine
wearing all that armor?

The jesters were funny!
