Medieval Times Birthday!















Yesterday was Adam’s 11th birthday and our family decided to go to Medieval Times in Lyndhurst, NJ to celebrate! I have not been there in over 15 years! It was a pleasant surprise that things were as great as the last time I visited! Before going on the trip I checked out the website. I noticed that the little girls wore costumes, so I brought along Emily’s princess costume and crown. I was glad I did, since there were quite a few children and adults dressed up for the occasion! We purchased the birthday package, so Adam was given a birthday crown.
Medieval Times is a dinner show. The guests are broken down into color teams that match their knight. Our knight was Yellow. He did not win, but we had fun cheering for him. Emily was thrilled because he threw he kissed a flower and then threw it to her! Cute. Adam’s name was announced for his birthday and he was part of a “birthday knighting” ceremony. He was also given cake with a candle in it, so we could sing to him. It was a fun day for everyone and a great birthday memory for Adam!

Day Out With Thomas

Day Out With Thomas


During the early summer we went on a family trip to ride on Thomas the Tank Engine!

Last year we rode on Thomas at Strasburg Railroad in PA. This year we took the ride at Phillipsburg, NJ along the Delaware River. The fun begins the minute you get to the “Day Out With Thomas” location. There are balloon bounces, cotton candy, spin art, and many Thomas themed activities. Most of the Thomas activities are free, such as stamping out a picture with track and trains, Lego building, watching mini railroads, petting zoo,

etc.

Before boarding the massive Thomas the Tank Engine you can meet and greet with Sir Topham Hatt! After boarding Thomas you can find your seat and enjoy the Thomas themed music! Get your ticket ready. The conductor will be coming to each person to punch a hole in your ticket! Then, relax and take a 25 minute ride on Thomas!

Our family has taken the ride for two years and it has not disappointed! If you get the chance to ride on Thomas, don’t miss it! It just may pass you by!
