Ren Faire Ramp Up

by Karen on March 23, 2010

Ted and Josie are both participating in the Renaissance Faire this year: Josie in the games booths and Ted as a Friend of the Faire (FAF). We all went  up to the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area last weekend to check out the yard sale and get them set up. It was fun wandering around on the Faire grounds while it was being built and Josie completed her costume.

Now Josie and Ted have to take their classes (accent, character building, costume, etc) and then they’ll be ready to greet and entertain the public.

So, we’ve been busy with the usual holiday stuff: shopping, cooking, eating, singing Christmas carols, going to parties, but we did take a few photos.
Josie had her advanced band concert. They sounded great and you could really hear the difference between beginning and advanced band. The auditorium was packed, as usual, so there was lots [...]

Blizzcon Day 2

August 23, 2009

I didn’t actually spend the whole day at Blizzcon on Saturday because I went to watch the LA Sol (womens pro soccer team) play in the championship game. They lost, unfortunately, though I think it was an exciting game for everyone but Sol fans to watch.
Josie dressed up more for the second day and got [...]

Blizzcon Day 1

What a day, we had a lot of fun at Blizzcon and this was Josie’s first one. Safe to say she really enjoyed herself. She dressed up as a modern blood elf (pretty modern clothes, but blood elf ears and did her hair in one of the blood elf styles, it was subtle, but quite [...]

Had a great weekend up in the Seattle area, visiting Tara. We saw a couple of movies, listened to Nanci Griffith play music at the zoo, and played a little WoW (when the internet connection allowed).

Ted and I took the Catalina Express over to Two Harbors and then a little boat up to Catalina Island Camps yesterday to visit Josie. She was at crafts when we got there and finished the necklace we were making, then showed us around camp. She’s having a great time. I think she grew again [...]
