Out & About | Hoggetowne Medieval Faire gainesville florida

Laurel — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:13:29 +0000

The Hoggetowne Medieval Faire is by far the most anticipated event in Gainesville Florida that my family looks forward to. The weather is always perfect – it’s always the end of January so it is never too hot nor too cold. It is so much fun walk through the isles of where the merchants are and see so many unique handmade goods. The acts are almost always the same – and usually the same jokes – but for some reason it always seems like we are hearing it for the first time. There is still one more weekend to enjoy the faire – go and check it out here.

One of our favorite acts as the acrobat team of Barely Balanced. I made a video with my iPhone of some of the highlights from their show – you can check them out again this weekend – they are awesome! Tell them Laurel sent you.

Buchholz H.S. Golden Regiment Marching Band | Highlights from FMBC

Last Saturday the Buchholz H.S. Golden Regiment marching band attended their very first competition of the Fall 2011 Marching Season and did very well. I am beaming with pride and so glad that Rowan is participating in the band. It’s only been a few months but already I feel so connected to the kids and their parents that work so hard to make this band run!

I took this photograph last night as the Golden Regiment was posing for their official band portrait for another photographer who was on a ladder. Oh I wish I had that height – but until the official portrait is printed – here is my version of the Buchholz High School Golden Regiment – I have to say I’m a wee bit partial to this band as my daughter is a freshman flute player this year! Watch out for this band – it is one of the – if not thee BEST marching band in the State of Florida! We go to our first competition on Saturday in Seminole Florida – watch out!

Personal | Lazy Days of Summer – gainesville florida family photographer

4 weeks and counting until the summer ends and the rigors of the school routine begin. I love having unstructured days and “free play” all the time! My husband does not have the advantage of a more relaxed schedule as he still has his job to go to every day of the week – but the kids don’t relate to that!
