Medieval Times Schaumburg IL

Hey Neighbors!

We are so enjoying our anniversary trip. We went to a dinner theater/gospel concert. The children (well the youngest is 13), put us up in a hotel by ourselves. NICE! And then they took us to Medieval Times, Schaumburg. If you have never been to Medieval times you are really missing out on a fun time.

We arrived approx. 45 minutes early. As you check in you receive a colored crown and are told which knight you will be cheering for. Next you have your picture taken with either the King or Princess. You will have the opportunity to purchase one later if you like.

At this point you will have time to wander some of their shops, visit the dungeon, and view some of the horses. Shortly before you enter the dining area they have a knighting ceremony. You pay extra to participate in this, but it does provide a special memory for a birthday or other occasion. Shortly after the ceremony ends the Chancellor will make a few announcements and then allow groups to enter the arena dining area based on the knight they are cheering for.

The show will begin shortly after you are seated. During the show you will see horses perform, a hawk hunting, and of course the main draw, the knights. They have competitions, jousting, and riding contests. The show occasionally changes, but we always enjoy our time there. My daughters love watching the horses perform. Another fun feature is that as the knights complete a competition they are given carnations to toss to someone in their section. Two of my daughters each received one.

Now, while the show is being performed in the arena in front of you, serfs and wenches serve your dinner. We have never been disappointed in the food. There is no silverware, so you eat with your hands. You will receive soup, which you drink from the bowl, along with chicken, riblets, a potato, garlic bread, and a fruit filled dessert.

I highly recommend attending the Schaumburg, Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. They put on a fabulous show and serve a delicious dinner. I am sure you will not regret going.

Take a minute to watch the slideshow.

The very best news though is one neighbor is going to receive 4 tickets to the Medieval Times Schaumberg Castle. Yes, you heard right, 4 tickets. Are you ready to enter? Let's go!

Thanks for stopping in today! I look forward to seeing you again soon.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
