Knights and Squires

Spencer loves Chivalry. I mean is obsessed. So of course he wanted a Knight themed party. Oh Yes
Spencer your request is granted. I first sent out a Royal Decree to attend his Birth Celebration.
I printed the Invites on 8.5x11 paper and rolled it up
to be delivered by the Raven...
Once Upon a Time in a land far away, the king sent out a Royal Proclamation 
There the plans were set now to get things in order.
For the Celebration to happen the Forest, Castle and Dragon were all in the best location Deane's Children's Park was equipped with all of the magic to make the Renaissance come to life.

A Castle,

The Dragon
So with these elements the planning began. The decorations we made at home. The Kingdom Banners were made and hung where the feast would take place.
 
The kids had fun helping me make House Banners. They came out really great.
The Great Hall looked Festive representing Kingdoms near and far
 
The Tables were set with gifts for the Royal Guests,


 
The armory was stocked
 
Next we set a feast fit for kings
I set the long tables with everything you would see in the celebration feast
 
 


We cut sandwiches with the Fleur de Lis, and Shields of Armour
To start the day we dressed out knights and lady's in their best Fashions and Armors
  
We Made Sur Coats for the knights from felt we cut a hole for the head, and shapes, the knights chose the colors and shapes and we belted them up. We found swords they could swing around.
 
The day began, with a great treasure hunt. With two maps and Father Guides we sent the teams on a quest. A Quest to find the hidden gold, stolen by the Eargon Dragon. Her dragon set eggs as clues in the great forest kingdom. The children read their maps to find the clues to the next dragon eggs left behind.
In came the Master of Defense, the greatest swordsman in the land. He came to show the pupils the way of the sword. 
      
In the middle of training A great Dragon came over the Horizon
The men grabbed their swords and prepared for the attack

Eargon dragons mate flew in to reclaim the treasure we has procured. So our knights, ladies and subjects set to slay the great Green Dragon Rheagon

 
All the land used their swords to slay the great green Rhaegon.
 
   
The dragon was slain.
The celebration of the Knight's feast finished the mid summer nights eve.
