The Renn Faire!

Ack! I have dozens of great pictures and mini movies to share of our adventures this late summer/early fall, but alas! Time is flying by me and I can't seem to find enough of it to blog.

Some of you die-hard jamilahabibi fans (all three of you) will remember that we like attending the Maryland Rennaisance Festival. Here's a picture from our visit in 2008:
That is a 4-month old Yumi, with an awesome band called The Rogues in the background (we've attended their performances every year).

The following are pictures from our 2010 visit. Sadly--there seems to be no record that Emiko came with us. Poor Emi. She was there--but just quietly sad in the back of the double stroller and just didn't seem to get caught in the camera. Mayumi, on the other hand, is a camera hog:

Meeting King Henry VIII.

Nate trying bravely to climb Jacob's ladder.

The highlight of Yumi's day: pony rides.

Berry Picking!

Mayumi joined her buddy Ethan in the double stroller, and took off up the mountain to pick peaches with Nicolina (Ethan's mom) while Emi and I picked blackberries.

My poor pumpkins--fell off their stalks in my garden--so I picked them, cut them up, and froze the pieces. To be eaten later (and not carved on Halloween, which was the plan....). Alas!
