Medevil Festival

Parker's school has been learning about the Medevil Times at school. We have read books, and made crafts and as a family we got to make a castle. We could use anything we wanted and Parker chose sugar cubes. It took forever. And I don't have a picture...silly me. We took it to school and I forgot my camera. It was fun seeing everyones and what they all created. Our favorite was the one made out of candy and rice crispy treats. Why didn't we think of that?? Later in the week everyone came dressed up from someone from that time period. And they had a Feast. It was fun to see what everyone came dressed up as. Parker wanted to do knight. They had a great feast. At first they introduced the kitchen staff (us the parents)and told them that they had to follow our kitchen rules. Then we told them that the castle is going through rough times and all we had for them was a vegetable stew and bread. We didn't even have silverware for them. We had to sell all the good stuff for what we had. You should have seen the looks on the kids faces. It was so funny!! Some of them were so worried and then others said sweet and ate their food. About 5 minutes later they were told that we were able to trade some other things from the castle and get them some corn on the cob. Cheers were heard throughout the castle. Parker was happy about that. Then five minutes later they were told that we stole some chickens from the neighboring castle and we had some chicken legs for them. It was so funny to see the kids reactions to what they got to eat. And how they brought it out was genius!! Parker later told me that he was so worried. He would only eat the bread and was worried that he was going to be hungry. Here are some photos from the feast.
