Wednesday: On the Road again!
It was a wonderful time, and the trip home again was not bad either. Since Aurora discovered her voice, I tried a few times to record her in the car. Once I figure out how to post videos, you can all see my crude and not so good videography skills, but it will be worth it because the subject matter is adorable! :)
I loved everyone's outfits for the Ren Fest! Also I feel like Aurora looks a lot like Chelsee when she was a baby :) Can't believe how big she's getting
