Sherwood Forest Faire Spring Break 2011

We went to the Sherwood Forest Faire on Saturday in Bastrop. Here are the pictures!

Petting Zoo.

Alex is Jousting.

Alex rings the bell on Jacob's Ladder.

First Try on Jacob's Ladder.


Pillow Fight (and there's Grandma in pink).

Our friend, Cindy, was playing the harp.

Strength test!

Fun swing. Pushed by pirates.
