2010 Arizona Renaissance Festival

After a few years of not being able to go to the Renaissance festival my wife, her family and I went. We stopped at one of many show that went on during that day. It was a fire whip show I was a little disappointed that the fire whip was only used for like three minutes or so. It was funny none the less and the man that preformed in the show is Adam Winrich a world champion whip cracker. He hold 7 or 8 Guinness world records for whip cracking. I videoed taped the show and due to youtubes limit on video times here are the videos.





I took Pictures as I went but they were of nothing important so all I have is the Fire whip show.

Lesson Not Learned

On Saturday we went to fly R/C airplane it was windy, from my other post you know that my brother and nephew crashed their plane. Well on Sunday they decided to fly them again, not so much wind just more bad luck. Check out the results of Sundays flight here.

My nephew Daniels R/C A10 crash

Here is a short clip of my nephew Daniel's flying his A10 R/C airplane on a windy day. Lets just say Daniel and my brother Robert who also flew his R/C airplane today crashed his (I don't think this plan was well thought out.... Master) were second guessing themselves on if they should fly them today. I did not get Robert's crash on camera sorry. To see the full video I took of Daniel's flight you can view it here.

Sean's 3rd Birthday Party

This year we decided to have Sean's birthday at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park. There you can ride two types of trains, see several train layouts in various gauges and the children can play on or at different playgrounds. We road the larger train a couple of times and the smaller one once. Here are some pictures of the trains and of Sean on the train.



Sean jumped into a train train train I want trains. So we have been helping or making it worst by buying him trains mainly Thomas The Tank Engine. We got him a Thomas cake and more Thomas stuff.


When it was time for singing happy birthday Sean was not going to have it. For some reason he cries when everyone sings happy birthday, but he does not cry every time just when a group sings it. Here is a picture of him before we sing and during.


We had a good turn out for family showing up one sister of course thinks she is better than us and would not show up no matter what. My sister Barbara came, but spent most of her time taking pictures of my nephew Daniel and smothering him like she was his mother. Other than that it was a great birthday party and everyone enjoyed it.


My mother was not able to make it because of a personal reason, but would have if she could.
