Midieval times

Yesterday my mom and dad (AKA mom-mom & pop-pop), my brother James and his 3 children, my husband, our boys and myself all went to Midieval times. It is a show with horses doing tricks, and jousting. It was not the first time I had gone, but a first for my husband and our boys. I had gone in Florida when I was a kid during a family vacation to Disney.

Our older boys were really into the show. Bradley especially took a liking to it. Bradley is big into wrestling and learning new "moves". Bradley's favorite move currently is the Arm Bar. Well anyway, Bradley told us his favorite part of the show was - "when they were fighting on the horses, and got knocked off, then fought with swords, and the man kicked the other man". lol. Bradley is a trip! He was so excited about the sword fights, and the jousting. Parker had a more Innocent outlook on the show and just loved the "horsie's" and the bird. During the show they had this falcon fly over the crowd a few times. It was pretty cool, and the kids really got a kick out of it.

One thing I personally did not like about the show was the meal. You pay $60 per ticket for adults and I believe $40 for children under 12. The meal consisted of some sort of tomato soup, with toasted bread, a half of chicken, a potato wedge, a small piece of rib, then an apple turnover. I am not a fan of meat. They do offer a vegetarian meal for vegetarians though. I just did not like trying to pick through this chicken in the dark. You really didn't know what you were eating because you couldn't see it. But that is just me! My husband loved the food, and our boys seemed to enjoy the chicken, but did not like the potato.

Overall it was a good time. There were some downfalls during the show though. Parker decided he was going to vomit all over himself, and my husbands knee and shoe! Parker is our little "puker". He is always throwing up, and no one knows why. Parker has gone to see a specialist about his frequent vomiting, and we were told it is reflux. Some how I do not believe that acid reflux can cause him to vomit so much. I will be asking his Dr. about it again, and hopefully having another visit with the specialist.

The other downfall to the whole experience was the heat! It felt like the building didn't have air conditioning. It was really warm, which also could have contributed to Parker throwing up.

Overall it was fun. It is something I would probably do again if we could afford it. Yesterday my father paid for every ones ticket, and luckily there was a special going on where you could buy one adult ticket, and get one child's ticket free.
