We finally had Shayna's 10 year old birthday party. What an amazing time the girls had. We waited until one of best friends (who moved to South Carolina this year) was in town to celebrate. Six of Shayna's closest friends joined us for a wonderful time at Medieval Times Dinner Theater plus a very energetic sleep over.
We left my house around 2 pm on Sunday and began the drive to Hanover, MD. The girls "rocked out" in the car dancing and singing like only 9 - 11 year olds could ! Once we arrived at Medieval Times, the girls received their "glow in the dark" lances and were ready to begin jousting themselves. Dinner and the show were apparently huge hits and everyone enjoyed it immensly. The girls then took their programs and visited every knight and the princess for "photo ops" and "autographs".
We traveled back to our house when the "sleep over" portion began. Most of the kids did stay up until the "wee hours" of the morning. We are talking 5:30 am. However, they entertained themselves all night creating their "knight equipment" for their own tournament to be held after breakfast in the morning. Out appeared markers, tin foil, cardboard, ribbons, sticks etc..... When Donnie and I woke up and saw the remanants of the "creations" we knew they had the time of their life !
Slowly the parents showed up at 10 am and the kids begged for more time. The parents visited and then headed home. I really, really hope that all of the girls REST today because I can't guarantee how much real sleep they got. They had so much positive energy - who could say no ! Shayna had a tremendous "3 months late birthday celebration !"
