going back in [medieval] time...

ava's daddy steve, sherry, and uncle micah invited us to join them at medieval times a few weeks ago.  to be honest, i wasn't all that thrilled about going.  i'd been once before several years ago, and didn't remember it being all that exciting.  even ava wasn't too crazy about it.  all that changed when we got inside.  she was the perfect age for it.  she really got into the whole competition aspect of it. 

we were seated in the yellow knight's section, and proudly sported our crowns.


Micah and Ava were pretending they were guards :)



micah dressed up with a tie for the occasion, and ava tried it on ;)



steve and justin


girlfriend ate her chicken AND tomato soup!  she is a picky eater, so this was a BIG deal.  she thought it was crazy to not have silverware to use!



we went on a wednesday night, so it wasn't very crowded.  that meant we were able to sit two rows off the floor, and had prime seats to see/talk to our yellow knight.  ava was cheering for him and the two made eye contact.  ava gave him a thumbs up, and he gave her one right back!  she was in heaven. after he one his first challenge, he received flowers from the princess.  he kissed the flower and threw the first one right to ava!  she thought it was the best!thing!ever!


they also had a hawk that flew around during a part of the show.  i love this video because it shows just how happy ava was! i had so much fun watching her!


we even got suckered into buying the souvenir ;) 


if you have kiddos around ava's age, i highly recommend going to the dinner and show!

This is so cute! We drive by that place quite a bit and I've always wondered what went on inside. It looks like she had an absolute ball and I love that she received so much attention from the knight. :) We'll have to take my nephews next time they're in town! Thanks for the rec!
