A Medieval New Years

On New Year's Eve we got to go to Medieval Times! What a blast! We have been wanting to go for a while now but just have never made it over there. So this year we decided, since they were having a great deal, we would take the kids and go. Josh got there early to get us some good seats and the kids and I joined him later. There was so much to do even before the actual show began. First, we got Paxton "knighted". They have this knighting ceremony and the person kneels before the king and wears a robe and they knight him. Oh man did he eat that up! He was way cute too! We also got to see a bird demonstration and other medieval festivities. Lorelei got a princess crown and of course Paxton got a yellow flag to cheer for our knight.

The show itself was very good as well as the food (if you don't mind eating with your fingers!). It was really great for our kids because they were entertained, they could eat and they could cheer and be as loud as they wanted! They did great for the whole two hour show. Paxton of course got really into it and loved all the jousting and sword fights. Lorelei enjoyed the princess in the show and the dancing horses. It really was a great time and well worth it! We think this might become our new tradition on New Year's Eve. We were home by 8:00 and the kids were in bed by 8:15- perfect New Year's! They have a show there for the late night partiers on New Year's Eve too, I think it lasts till like 2:00 in the morning-not something we're up for yet!

I wish I had more space on my camera to take more pictures but here are the cute ones we got!

The picture that he got from Medieval Times and below is the certificate. (Please excuse my poor scanning skills!)

Our Little Prince and Princess!

Paxton standing with the guard of the dungeon. You could pay extra to go down to the dungeon but when Paxton asked what a dungeon was, we figured what he doesn't know won't hurt him!

We ran into our good friends at Medieval Times. Here is Lorelei and Knight Wade!

Not a great inside picture of the show but you get the point.
