Kaltenberg Medieval Festival

On July 6th, we went to the Kaltenberg Medieval Festival. We arrived just in time for the big parade of the day. Ashlyn was able to see everything great from her seat on Allen's shoulders. I was able to hold my camera in the air and get a lot of shots like this:
Many of the groups that were in the parade walked throughout the market grounds later, on their way to the jousting event. Bob had no problem standing in their way to get good photos.

There were many market stalls, performances all day, and other activities.

Of course, the big event was the Knights' Tournament. Bob suggested we buy seats in the covered area. I kind of thought cheaper seats that were closer to the action might be better. As we were making our way to the arena, the rain started. Soon, it was pouring. With the wind blowing, the rain was nearly horizontal. The show went on, but I was glad to be out of the weather, in our covered seating. Fortunately, it did not rain the whole time. There was something for everyone, princesses, knights, horses.

Not sure about these men. Think they wanted me to take their picture.Busy day. For those who have asked, they just konk out eventually. We do nothing. Apparently taking after their father, who has fallen asleep while walking.
