Preparations for this party Started a week earlier and a miracle happened with the creation of Tates Dragon. It was definitely a team effort
Big Boys Birthday Cake
Welcome to Sir Tate's Knights Training Camp. We began the party by coloring a cardboard castle aka Sir Tate's Castle. Once all the boys arrived we began our Knights training Camp by giving them all a knights tunic and a wooden sword (John had whipped up the night before) and let them practice their sword fighting skills on some punching balls that we'd strung across the room.
it got a lil dangerous and at the end Tanner got a blow to the head... from Sir Tate himself... oops.
Before moving onto our next lessons we made shields which they pry should've had before the sword fighting.
Then we had a marshmallow fight which was supposed to be with some catapults we made, but they quickly broke and we found the arm was mightier than the stick.
Next we moved out to the barn for our final challenge, the Joust. The boys found it difficult to hold the jousting stick and the stick horse as they galloped towards the targeted Iron Man cutout that hung from a rope.
As we finished we heard a fiery breathing dragon up in the loft and so we headed up there to defeat him. We found he was filled with sugary treats and that dragon skin is tough.
We had a great time at the party and we were so thankful to everyone who came and participated in Tate's birthday fun day.
Sir Tate and his loyal sidekicks.
