a Knight to remember
« on: 2011-07-10, 21:23:44 »
or is that birthday party. today i was a knight for a 6 year olds birthday party. He is the son of a friend so I thought I would help out. they had Lego knights as gifts and plastic breastplates for the kids to wear. my friend even made a "pin the shield on the Lego foot soldier". the kids had a great time. here are some pictures of me and my two kids.

That is too cool!  I bet those kids loved you.  I know I would have loved a real knight at my birthday party!

I was a knight for a freind of mine's pricess party for her daughter. I held the pinata, all the kids were afraid to swing at it because the scary armored guy was holding it and he might hurt them if they hit him. I had fun and the kids did too, once they got used to me.

The title of this topic reminds me of a picture I have posted at home. (I like to always keep in touch with the lighter side of things) It has a dragon picking his teeth with a tooth pick and saying...."Ah...now THAT was a kinght to remember!"
