Uncle Chris' birthday was on Valentine's Day, but we celebrated as a family on February 19th with a trip to Medieval Times! I hadn't been since I was in high school, and Michael hadn't been since he was a kid, so we were really looking forward to it. Happy Birthday Uncle Chris!
We arrived early so we could get all checked in and we found out we would be rooting for the yellow knight! We never could get Wes to wear his crown, such a stinker!
Grammy and Wes checking out the horses. It was very important to him to tell us that he only saw one black horse.
Cora on the other hand, was very cooperative and wore her crown like a little princess :)
Mike and I weren't sure how Wes was going to react, and as soon as we were allowed in to the arena and sat down at our table, he began to get a little nervous...
...and then the lights went down...
...and he was not a happy camper! He kept saying he wanted to leave and wanted OUT! But...
...as soon as the horses started coming out and we bought him a $1 flag so he could cheer on our knight, he had a striking change of heart! :)
And of course things got even more exciting for him when the food started coming! I broke the rules and brought Wes a spoon and fork (the spoon came in handy for the "dragon soup" but of course he loved the fact that he didn't have to use his fork!)
We all thought the food was delicious, which is saying a lot for the number of people they serve. We were served soup, bread, chicken, ribs, potatoes and hot apple strudel for dessert.

...our yellow knight won his battle against the blue knight, but then lost his "dispute" against the green knight :)
Wes loved cheering on all the knights and really enjoyed the whole show. I liked the jousting and Grammy liked the horsemanship, and we all liked the falcon that flew around the arena right over our heads! (thankfully there were no accidents!)
Cora was such a good girl the whole night. She nursed and then was quiet, probably mesmerized by all the sights and sounds, while we ate and then she fell asleep for the last 45 minutes of the show.
Happy Birthday Uncle Chris, and thanks Grammy and Grandpa for the fun night!
Thats funny cuz we just watched Celebrity Apprentice and their task was to create a show at Medieval Times! Ryan and I were saying how neither of us have been since we were kids and how much Brayden would love it! Except for the fact that we train them so hard to use their utensils and then it goes right out the door... Looks like you guys had fun!!
