Real quick: I wanted to show you all some of my favorite photos from a weekend trip to Muskogee.

We started at <a href="http://www.okcastle.com/" target="_blank">the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival at The Castle</a>. Where I tried on a helmet made of leather and my husband beat me at knife-throwing.

It was pirate weekend, but we still managed to work some Xtreme falconry into our day. 

Also, it feels pretty awesome when your priest and his wife think several hours with you and some friends in another city at one of the strangest and most interesting festivals our state has to offer is a good way to spend a Saturday. 

Father Blake (that's his wife, Laura Beth) is a Muskogee native, and he waited all day to pull this second trick out of his sleeve:

That's Beacon Drive-In. It's a local legend. Blake and Laura Beth have been boasting about how the coneys from Beacon are the best in the entire state. 

I'm ready to say that they're right.

What'd you get up to over the weekend?
