Day Seven

This was another relaxing day by the overcast pool. We were supposed to head to Catalina this day but we couldn't bear the thought of getting up and going early enough to catch the boat over, so we just vegged. That afternoon, we went to Midevil Times. We totally felt Jim Carrey "Red Knight's going down!" Actually, we were on the Red Knight's team. They served us dinner and put on a pretty cool show. The kids thought this was so neat! I could not convince them after this that sword fighting in the car was a little too much.

The princess of the land would give the Knights flowers to give to the fair maidens. Ambra was the first one to get a flower by the Red Knight. She was on cloud nine after this. She really thought she was his special maiden. Cole wanted a flower so bad. We were by the aisle and so every time the Knight would come by with flowers, he would jump out of his seat into the aisle and jump as high as he could. He was screaming and cheering so loud that his voice was hoarse after the show. Everyone around us was looking at us and laughing at how hard this little guy was trying to get the Knight to notice him. The knight stopped and looked at Cole and laughed, but gave the flower to a 40 year old sitting in front of us!!! I was so sad! The air went out of Cole and he looked at me with those big blue eyes and said "Mom, how come he not give me a fower - I was yelling so loud?" That dang knight! Give my boy a flower! My heart broke in two that moment.
We trashed the kids almost every day. We had to wheel them in on luggage carts to our room every night they were so tired.
