We finally have our full set of Dragons. When we went to the Renaissance Festival two weekends ago, we were able to pick up another one (to represent our newest addition, Maddie). It has become our tradition, so we scoped out the dragon shop (hard to believe, but there is only one like it at the whole festival) and set to searching for the perfect addition. We even overheard the man working there say that his Father (the owner) was declining in health, so Tim stepped aside to ask if he could pass along the message that we’ve been back to purchase his dragons for every one of our kids. And, to his surprise, the father was in the back of the shop resting, so Tim got to tell him himself. I think it made his day.
I love how these dragons are made. It’s done by heating rods of glass then touching them together and stretching them and shaping them while super hot. It’s simply mesmerizing to watch.
But on to the pictures! Here it is–Our Dragon Family: (Oh, and as a side note… it’s hard to take pictures of glass inside a class curio. Haha!)
