Only in Bucks County: Frigid Photo Shoot along The Delaware

The sun was going down, and there were actually ice chucks floating by in the Delaware River when I met Joana, her husband, and her twin sister Janet for their Maternity shoot. Joana is expecting her first baby, a boy named Dominic, on March 5th. Janet had booked this photo shoot with me back in October when she knew her sister would be in town for the Christmas holiday.
Since the photos had to be taken late in the day we met right by the Delaware River and took advantage of the golden hour. We kept taking breaks, but we had a lot of fun! The greatest compliment you could give me after browsing through these photos would be that they don't look like they were taken on such a frigid day, because my fingers were about ready to freeze off!

Thank you Grundy Library for giving us a place where we could run in and warm up on a 20 degree December afternoon!

"You are loved, Dominic."

Only in Bucks County: Our Very Own Renaissance Fair

Every Fall I notice big wooden signs for the Wrightstown Renaissance Fair spread throughout Newtown and Yardley. I never knew that the entire event was put on by the charming little Village Library to benefit the Library, so that in itself promoted me to grab the twins and go.


 

What a great job they did getting all the actors and actresses and props together to convert the Fairgrounds into a huge Mid Evil village! There was lots to see, color everywhere, and we really enjoyed being transported into a different time.

 

The admission fee was only $5 and so much was included. I would call the Wrightstown Renaissance Fair the perfect family excursion for parents with kids age 5 to 13. It's a fun family festival filled with history, crafts, interactive games, entertainment, and oddities.

                                                       You really need to go next year!

Remember, all proceeds go to The Village at Wrightstown Library.

 

 

PS: The word "Renaissance" is really starting to look funny. I've spell-checked it about fifty times.
