Our cub scout leaders are awesome.
Last night they planned a medieval night for the annual Blue and Gold Banquet.
Our boys were "grinning" with excitement!
They actually really loved it, Carter was just showing his best Angry Knight face.
(love the gnarly teeth)
Food was served with no utensils.
What 10 year old boy wouldn't be thrilled?
(happy to say there were napkins)
Andrew ate his weight in chicken legs, Carter filled up on carrots (his favorite) and Colby ate- what else - a white roll.
I did not have to make or clean up dinner so all around it was a win-win situation.
The evening included a skit by Andrew's den and a cool ceremony where the boys were Knighted- with a real sword. Andrew was Knighted "Sir Andrew Dixon, Knight of Courage" Steve and I were able to choose which virtue he was knighted with. The boy is going to middle school next year so we chose Courage.
He is going to need it!
Andrew was given all the rights, privileges, and honors of knighthood. I have the certificate to prove it! Unfortunately, he was upset when he realized that the "privileges" he was given include laborious duties such as helping others. Ha Ha.
Here is my Brave Courageous Knight , sword in hand, walking towards the tunnel of swords.
Can't you just see the disdain in his face from having his picture taken?
Again...Ha Ha!
Our cub scout pack is pretty fun!
The evening ended with ice cream sundays.
I was really happy dessert included spoons.
Really happy.
Colby was more excited about holding a real sword than eating ice cream.
This particular sword was about twice as tall as him.
Last but not least, her is Colby punching our Bishop.
(I'm really proud...cough cough)
In my son's defense, Bishop Groesbeck loves four year olds and egged this kid on ALL NIGHT!
We love our Bishop and he is moving.
We are heartbroken.
Colby will miss his sparing buddy.
