My turkey leg

We are a couple weeks out from the season opening of King Richard’s Faire. As a family we have been hosted to visit Carvershire for the past 6 years. It is one of the most fun days of the year. The family loves seeing all the great acts and eating the fun food like huge turkey legs! It is an awesome day filled with fun and humor and really nice people. The kids have had some of the best experiences there. One of the most memorable moments was The Roaming Drummer who let Andrew play on his drum. Andrew was almost 2 years old at the time and he was having a fit because we confined him to the stroller. It was also a long day and he was tired. It is the people who are at the Faire who make it the best time ever. We cannot wait to go back.

And we want you to come with us!!!!

A Carvershire Birthday at King Richard’s Faire

A Carvershire Birthday
Photo-A-Day #4199

Today was Eva’s 9th birthday and we celebrated by going to King Richard’s Faire. That was after I had taken Eva for our yearly birthday breakfast. This was the first time in three years where it went off without a hitch. No flat tires, no conflicting plans. Just a nice breakfast with Eva.

Then we went to King Richard’s Faire as a family. We were provided free tickets to the event in exchange for coverage of the event and a review. Opinions of the event are 100% our own, and it is something that we have done for the past 5 years as a family and we’ve made some nice friends at the Faire. Eva was greeted with a birthday song from the residents of Carvershire. We were also there with our good friends, The Walkers. We started off our adventure at the Princess school and the kids had a great time. Andrew built a block castle and played card tricks with a young man. Eva and Rose enjoyed their time with the princesses.

We then went and saw the Mis-Adventures Swashbuckling, Swords & Hilarity show, which was so much fun. The kids got to go up on stage and have some fun. We do like this show, it is very cute and funny. Some good humor for the parents and for the kids.

We checked out the Imaginarium Galleries after this because that is where we got the kids’ Drabbits last year. They love these adorable little puppets and wanted to see more of them. We were happy to see that they have a larger space this year and it is more permanent.

I took mostly video this year to make the daily vlog

Head to King Richard’s Faire for the 31st Season

King Richard's Faire 2003
Our Last Trip to King Richard’s Faire was 2003, far too long ago.

It has been a few years since I last entered the realm of King Richard’s Faire out in Carver, MA. Allison and I have gone to the faire a few times in the past. I’m a big fan of the turkey legs and all of the shows that go on at the faire. The tiger show is awesome, there are some incredible animals that are part of the show. They even have a huge Liger.

This year we got tickets to go to the faire and this will be Eva’s first time to go. I know she’s going to love to dress up and attend. She loves her princess dresses. She saw a commercial and got very excited to attend. It must be because Daddy likes knights and swords and more plus she’s been on a BRAVE kick lately and thinks she saw some archery in the commercial. I can’t see any but maybe there will be a demo when we are there.

I have a special deal for my readers, too. If you are interested in going to King Richard’s Faire you can attend at Group Rate prices using my discount code. Read on to find out how. Continue reading Head to King Richard’s Faire for the 31st Season →

Let go of my drumstick

Let go of my drumstick
Photo-A-Day #1329

Today was Thanksgiving and we had a very nice day. Eva and Allison and I watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. And we got Rick Rolled like the rest of you. That was pretty funny too.

Eva had a very pretty purple velvet dress that her Mimi got her, from Macy’s ironically enough. We listened to Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant at noon on WROR as is the Thanksgiving Day tradition. We were visited by my grandparents on my Dad’s side and shared our meal with Erik’s parents Bonnie and Howard. Bonnie and Howard brought Eva a penguin that was just about as large as she. It is a Gund too and so it is wonderfully soft and squishy. To see Eva hug the penguin is a sight to behold. She just gets enveloped into the penguin.

We had a delicious dinner courtesy of my sister Tara. She got the whole thing from Whole Foods. My father and I got the drumsticks because that is the part that we like the best. The rest of the meal included all the traditional fixings and they were also very tasty.

Eva got to spend time with Aunt Shelby as well. She has a great time with Shelby too, you should see how she lights up and laughs around her. They have so much fun. My mom is going to be in trouble when she says “Where’s Aunt Shelby?” to Eva and Aunt Shelby is nowhere around. Eventually Eva is going to understand what that means and go in search for her and when she cannot find her and has a meltdown then that will be the last time she says that.

For dessert we had apple pie, pumpkin pudding pie, ice cream, cheesecake and of course the Pumpkin Pie, Gingerbread, White Chocolate, Caramel Ice Cream. That ice cream was delicious. I still have no name for it but I would certainly get it again as it tasted very much like pumpkin pie.

Later tonight we went to my Uncle Richard’s house for more dessert and to visit with my Grandparent’s on my Mom’s side. It was a nice day and we were able to see much of our family. Tomorrow we go and visit Allison’s family too.
