Kili's Crusader Birthday Party


 Kili's Auntie B wanted to host a boy birthday party for Kili's FIFTH birthday (yikes, how'd he get to be FIVE???), so at it we went.  It was AWESOME!! First are a few pictures of the various bits and pieces.
 Dollar store crusader tunics.


 Swords and shields
 Auntie B's amazing castle cake


 The boys' quest was going to end in a crusader's rosary.

 The banner we forgot to carry on the quest... oops! :D
 The dragon to be killed.
 The boys received the first leg of the quest....
 After they solved the "riddle" they found themselves bounding up to the chapel.

 Here Sir Bilbo knighted them and they received their swords and shields.



 Next clue, to a little house....

 Just how many boys can you cram into  a little house?
 At each stop they found a bead attached to a colored stick.  They put these into bags.


 Next clue was at the chicken house.




 Next was by Beasty the ram.



 Next along the fence



 Next to the sand box
 Next way back to the cabin

Crusaders on a quest
 Next were clues in the cherry trees

 Next the quest brought us to the barn where the dragon lived.
 They had to kill the dragon (pop all the balloons with their swords... or stomp them), see video below


 The quest ended back in the chapel
 each boy received a gift


 Now it was time to assemble their crusader rosary with all the pieces they found on their quest.

 Next was archery

Happy Birthday Kili!
