"Don't ever say Knights don't have any fun" warned the lead knight, as the first notes of 'The Hokey Pokey' begin to play and the arena erupts into a rousing routine of left and right limbs shaking about. The boys are taking part in a Medieval Times Junior Knight Training session at Toronto Castle, and The Hokey Pokey is serving as both an ice breaker for some nervous little ones, like my 6 year old, and a reminder of left and right for others.

We had wanted to travel to a Caribbean all inclusive with the family for awhile now, but one of the biggest things holding us back was our picky, picky eaters. My husband and I had visited resorts before and felt bored with the food after a couple days, but were happy to make do. Our kids on the other hand, they are as stubborn as it comes and we worried how they would … [Read more...]
