Becoming a Knight with The Kid Who Would Be King

1 Comment

Eva Kid Who Would Be King

Eva and I are heading to NYC today on an epic adventure filled with swords and sorcery. We are tracking down the cast of The Kid Who Would Be King in order to interview them, train to me knights and to, of course, see the new movie The Kid Who Would Be King (Coming to theaters January 25th). This is a once in a lifetime trip and I am so excited to share it with Eva. She’s had her own swords (Nerf ones) for years now. Ever since she was very small we would play sword-fight in the backyard whether it be with Nerf swords or Lightsabers. I am thrilled that I can share my love for Arthurian Legend with her through this movie. If will give us a great jumping in point to talk more about the legend and share movies and books together.

It is The Guide for Young Knights. It features The Knights Code, activities and more. Be sure to share this with your knights-in-training to ensure they’re ready for an epic adventure and can earn their seat at King Arthur’s Round Table!

And if you did not believe me about the sword fighting. Well, back in 2012 Eva and I had some incredible battles like this one. Forgive me for shooting Vertical.

Start a Family Christmas Tradition at Dolly Parton’s Stampede

Blogger Event

One of the most fun events that I attended while in Branson, MO was Dolly Parton’s Stampede. I was in Branson for the Blogging Branson event. It was a trip where I was with a large group of bloggers who attended many events over a few days. I paid my way to get there, but once I got there my lodging, entertainment and food were taken care of completely. At Dolly Parton’s Stampede Dinner Attraction we had a special reception just for the bloggers and it was so much fun.

When you arrive at Dolly Parton’s Stampede they have entertainment for the crowd to enjoy prior to the dinner show. There are three levels in a round because there can be as many as 1500 people in attendance. I can hardly believe that they can do up to five shows a day. That is incredible. It is, however, not unbelievable after witnessing the efficiency with which Dolly Parton’s Stampede takes care of business. First patrons warm up with pre-show entertainment. We got to hear Christmas songs in the Carriage Room from a trio of musical brothers, the White River Wranglers.
