Looking Forward To Fall and King Richard's Faire 2016

Sitting here in the 90 degree heat, I'm dreaming of fall and wishing it were September already.  What's not to love about fall after all?  It is my favorite season for many reasons.  School is back in session, the air is crisp and cool, and King Richard's Faire returns! My family has visited our local Renaissance faire in Carver, Massachusetts at least once every fall since 2012.  This year we will be returning again and will be receiving complimentary passes to continue on with this family tradition.

Having attended the past four seasons, one of the things we look forward to the most about King Richard's Faire is seeing the friendly and familiar faces.  That gypsy in the photo above read our children's fortunes last year.  We look forward to seeing the strapping fellow who pushes the Swan Swing and the guys over at M'Lady's Shady Maze.  Of course, we hope to catch a wave from Queen Anne and King Richard.  Our daughter was thrilled to have had her photo taken with the Queen two years ago.  Such awesome family memories are made every year!
