Larry and Susan came to visit this weekend.  Larry had some training downtown, so they took advantage of the situation by delaying his flight home and flying Susan down for a long weekend with us.   As part of the fun, we decided to check out a renaissance fair that was going on nearby.

Sydney was ecstatic when she came across a group who do illumination and calligraphy (her current art-interest, and one that she’s getting quite good at).  Turns out there are several people who are happy to help her learn new techniques for free.  She also was excited to see her piano teacher there who is a member of the society (the one in a red dress).

Isaac had a chance to learn some basic fencing.  Syd’s teacher is also a member of the fencing club, and directed an otherwise bored Isaac that way.  You can tell by the look on his face he enjoyed it.  The instructor spent almost half an hour with him.

And, just for fun, some pictures of Isaac.  He had dug into my old scuba gear and brought the result in to show Liz.
