crazychicknladyWe went to Ren Faire yesterday. It would have been nicer weather to go today, but H and C have 4-H shooting sports this afternoon.
One of S's goals for this Faire was to aquire a Gryphon puppet. She systematically saved every two weeks for almost an entire year to have the money ready. Her efforts were rewarded.
S.
Instead of buying him outright, she bought a dragon egg and played the chance game to see if she won a higher priced puppet. She didn't, but the way it works is you are guaranteed at least the price of puppet that matches the price of egg, which was the level of puppet she was planning to buy anyway.
Roll ball roll! (S and C)
The worker announced that Sarcastic Sage was playing their game, and when the ball reached a certain point we were all to chant "roll, ball, roll" to encourage it along.
It did take S about an hour to decide on her gryphon, but she was very pleased with him once the decision was made.
While waiting for S to choose, C had time to play the dragon egg game himself, for a much smaller price point (he got a dragon eye pendant). He also found the whip merchant to buy a whip - having to go back a second time after he Conraded himself into an extra 10 dollars. I was buying us lunch by the time S was done. M found the magic gryphon, one that wasn't even in the running at first, and H spent the time holding extra gryphons and just being generally helpful.
