Hail and Well Met!

To the shire of Avonloch we traversed this morn (aka. the Great Lakes Medieval Faire in Rock Creek, OH)- Lords and ladies, knights, fairies, and pirates too!

Layla's friend Cece joined us for a fun-filled day of riding, gaming, wandering, and eating of vittles.



The girls opted not to ride him but were happy to watch and inspect Joshua the camel. The camel wrangler (not sure what his official title would be) was eager to answer their questions, mostly of which were "hump" related.

The theme of the weekend was "Pirate Invasion." The girls found this guy (on the right) and thought this lonely pirate needed a little cuddle...

Good food, great music, unique craftsman and artisans- it was almost too much to see in one day. We definitely need to return to take in more of the shows, displays, and jousting events!



Until then, Layla has already brought much of the experience into her play at home. From fairy stones to treasure maps, I forsee many glittery and swashbuckling adventures in our future!
