We took the boys to Medieval Times in Chicago today and to quote both Owen and Gavin, it was "AWESOME!" We saw live jousting and Knight skill contests along with some outstanding sword, mace, axe, shield and flail work. The horses were absolutely stunning and were so impressive. We upgraded to the front row and had great seats. There was a falconer and a lot of great food. The wench (known as a waitress nowadays) came through and instructed us that our right hand was our fork and our left hand was our knife while our napkin was the sleeve of the person next to us. Owen grinned. Then out came dragon soup, a half chicken and a sparerib plus herbed potatoes and a mug of "Pepsi." All without utensils, it was great.
Furthermore, the boys met the Lord Chancellor, (right hand man to the King regarding affairs of the state) prior to the show. On top of that, we were seated in the blue kingdom and our Knight won the entire event, was granted the hand of the princess and marriage and saved the day over the evil Lord Marshall (general of the King's army.) If you haven't experienced Medieval Times, it is well worth it.
Thanks to Grandpa for watching Quinn for the day so we could play with the boys. We brought Quinn back a princess hat which she said is beautiful.
