We celebrated Teddy’s 2nd birthday a day earlier with our good family friends the Tappers.  We started off the evening with mexican food then came back to the house for cake and homemade ice cream (that Penny and Grams made).  Teddy had a wonderful time with everyone and even got to skype with Grandma and Grandpa.

On Saturday, we headed to the Connecticut Renaissance Faire.  Believe it or not, it was Grams’ first time!!  We had a blast!!!

There was-

a trapeze act-

a comedy show-

Archery (Penny was a natural!)

Smite the knight-

Teddy was very upset as he watched Penny fighting, he eventually barged in and tried to protect Penny

Crown Decorating-

Tea time with the princesses.  Penny was really excited, Queen Catherine showed up too!!

Cirque de Sewer-

Jousting-

King Henry and Queen Catherine-

Face Painting-

Chinese Acrobat-

And 2 very sleepy kids-

Penny and Teddy are so lucky to have 2 great grandma’s.  In July, we were able to visit with Granny in Atlanta, and now that we are in Connecticut we are able to visit with Great Grandma Buczek.  She is amazing!  At 96, still living alone!!

She lives on some beautiful wooded land that is always full of things to see.  What do they see?

Another fun find, a wooly caterpillar.  Grams taught Penny how to read the wooly’s stripes to predict the upcoming winter, something that Grams’ dad taught her as a little girl.

Grams said, looks like it will be strong weather at the beginning and end of winter, with a mild middle.  We will see!!
