Violet's First Ren Faire


 We brought Violet to the New York State Renaissance Faire today. I've been going since I was 9 years old. I have really great memories of that Faire from my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Now I can add motherhood to that list. She's been clingy lately, and specifically clingy toward me, so I ended up carrying her around for a lot of the day and was able to see everything through her eyes.

She was enthralled by the fairies and waved at the Queen's procession.


We bought her her first flower crown.

Bringing Violet to the Ren Faire today was one of those things I looked forward to doing "with my kids" before I had her, and now I can say it was even better than I had hoped.

Today was just a really good day.
