Go hither!

*Let's go to Ye Old Root Beer Shop*
*It's just over yonder hill*
*No, go hither and yon*
*Okay*

On Saturday, we went to, "The Feast of the Hunter's Moon."
It was pretty cool, after we all finally got there. (Lesson learned: Don't believe Mr. Blanchard for directions!)
We also had to park a far ways away form the entrance, in the so-called "handicapped parking." (Right...)
It was CROWDED!!!! I didn't think there were going to be that many people there!
Then we couldn't find the Blanchards anywhere, and we couldn't call them because we had no signal on our cellphones.
So we looked all around for them, meanwhile, my Mom is mad at my Dad because he didn't bring enough money.
Olivia and I went off to look for the Blanchards, and THEY FREAKED US OUT!!! They came up behind us and jumped on our backs! After that, we all stayed together. We got to see a person swallow fire, which was cool. We also saw a clown.
The whole place reminded me of an outdoor market with a twist. (It's set in the 1700s, you know)
There were shops-a-plenty. Olivia bought a ring, and Claire bought a yo-yo. We got to share a bottle of non-carbonated root
beer. It was good! I got to keep the bottle. We saw these old men who were yodeling, or singing, or something, they scared me and Olivia. And...We got to see a cannon firing off! It was really, really loud. We also saw this sheepdog who herded some sheep, and at the very end, before we left, we saw these people juggling knives, balls, and bats. Not so extraordinary, eh? Well they did that while they were balancing on teeter-totters. They were pretty funny, too. They kept cracking jokes and making people laugh. Oh, and Mr. Blanchard kept telling us to go hither and yonder. He's silly.After we left, (and went back to civilization and the 21st century) we went to Pizza Hut for dinner with the Blanchards. Overall, the day was fun!
