On 21 March, 1998, Mommy, Grandpa, my sister Megan and I went to the Renaissance Festival which comes to our town every year. Did I have a good time, or what????I loved every part of it!! There were all kinds of things to see and do. There were lots of activities just for kids.

The best part was that I got my own sword and shield! We plan to go again next year.
