The show...

Just got back from the Medieval Times show and boy was it a great one! We had purchased an upgraded package which allowed up to sit up front and along with that we got extras like a souvenir program, a DVD of some sort, and a flag in our knights color to wave.

Well, upon our arrival, we had to wait a bit outside while they were getting things ready. There was another little boy maybe a year younger than Dalton and everyone knows that my Dalton is definitely not shy. Dalton befriended this kid and they talked and laughed and told stories. Well this was until we were given our crowns. The little boy was given a blue crown and we were given a black and white crown. Dalton instantly became enemies with his new friendship. They both had swords and dueled each other as we sat and waited for the show to begin.

Ian was a bit more reserved. He decided he wanted to buy a black and white jester hat. This was a great choice for him. As the night went on, Ian started to come out of his shell--he was cheering, chanting, and yelling for our black and white knight.

Tiana has enjoyed the show beforehand but bought a Tiara of some sort. She was excited again for the show. Last time she was given a carnation from our yellow knight.

So the food was served and of course our hands were our silverware and everyone ate like we were savages and this was the first meal all week.

The trumpets play and the show begun.

We have our crowns on and our flags in hands. Whenever the black and white knight passed by we woo'ed and yelled. When the green knight passed by we boo'ed and hissed.

It started with jousting. Two knights racing towards each other with the jousting sticks exploding into shards on impact. When the knight falls off the horse the battle moves to the ground. They start with swords and double edge axes. Sparks fly amongst the impact of their swinging weapons. One by one the knights are killed off.

The final show was our black and white knight against the green knight. The story plot thickened at this point as the green knight brought the kidnapped prince in the arena with arms tied with rope. The green knight was the 'bad guy'. But no fear our black and white knight saved the prince and destroyed the green knight.

I think that I spent more time watching the boys watch the show. The facial expressions and excitement they showed was absolutely priceless. In fact, I don't think Dalton sat during the whole show. He was on his feet yelling from start to finish.

At the end of the show there is a dance in the main hall with all the knights, lady, prince, king, narrator, and wenches.

Definetly a favorite of mine...
