The spruce-up calendar said that day four was "kitchen" day! We scrubbed, scrubbed, and scrubbed...and now everything is sparkly!
|
Yep. That's my bo-hiney sticking out from behind the fridge as I vacuumed up ginormous dust bunnies. |
As I cleaned behind the fridge I found a Milk Bone dog biscuit. I wonder how long that has taunted the hound?? HA!
|
Kendra with her baseboard bucket--she did pretty much every baseboard in the house. As it should be...she's much lower to the ground than I! |
Then to the fun part of the day! We've wanted to try Medieval Times for a while, so we did! It is a dinner-and-a-show place, with the dinner being utensil-less and the show being a jousting tournament! Oh my, we had a BLAST!!!
|
We were seated in the "yellow" section, and bought a yellow flag to cheer on our knight. |
|
The grand entrance of the king. |
|
Our yellow knight, the Knight of Navarre. I'm gonna say he was pretty much my kind of eye-candy. Yep. |
|
This picture is hilarious because it captured Kendra's concern. She was so worried that someone or someHORSE was going to get hurt! Such my tender-hearted girl. I kept telling her it was a SHOW, you know, like with actors. She wasn't buying it. |
|
Look ma! Only hands! No utensils allowed! |
|
Cheering on our yellow knight... |
|
...to victory! He won his first round, but then alas, lost in the championship round. |
The food was really delicious! Each of us got a divine piece of sort-of flat bread, a half of a rotisserie chicken, a barbecue spare rib, some yummy seasoned potato wedges and an apple pastry for dessert. The show was very exciting---lots of staged stunts, riding of horses, sword fighting and use of other medieval torturous weapons, a cool story line about a stranger from another land coming to steal the fair princess' hand, even a falconer who released the falcon to fly over the crowd (so cool!). We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and Kendra was very relieved that nobody got hurt! :-)
That medieval place looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your spring spruce up idea. One room per day sounds do-able, and I bet your house feels so GOOD right now. I haven't cleaned beneath our fridge in the 3 years we've lived here. I'm a little nervous about what I'll find.
I love Medieval Times!! I went there a couple of times when I went on choir tour in high school. So fun!! What a great week you had!!
