Dragon Slaying

Most of our December and January days are for movie watching and snuggling, board games and computer games but not Saturday. On Saturday we went Dragon Slaying. Pumpkin had a knight's birthday party. There were 13 children altogether, mumy eas the jester, daddy was the king, Plum, 5, dressed as a queen, Bean, 9, was the Black Knight. The King received a scroll from the Fiery Green Dragon to say that it was him who had stolen the king's treasure and he would only fight the bravest and most fearless knight's. They also needed to solve the puzzle of the key to enter the dragon's lair. So we set about training to be knights. First we became agile, we ran an obstacle course jumping rushing waters, climbing mountains, crawling through caves and balancing across lava. Next we toned our fighting skills with sword fighting and jousting and then we got in some target practice with javalin throughing and knocking over toy animals with a ball. After all this we had collected lego parts of the key but we were still missing one large part. The King knighted all the squires and then we went to find the dragon. On the way we met the Black Knight, most renowned for his jousting skills. Our best jouster challenged him and one and we aquired the last part of the lego key. On to the dragon's lair where we unlocked the door and slay the dragon. We celebrated afterwards with a banquet of dragon scales, dragon toes, dragon's eyeballs amongst other things. There was also stilts and diablo toys to olay with. Everyone had a great time and it was a great success.
