"Chasing dragons with plastic swords"

Today we repeated one of our favourite family pastimes - tourist terrorisation.  This is also one of monster munch's favourites as he gets to misbehave without the prospect of a waggy finger from mummy.

We pick a local historical building (normally a castle) and take monster munch's plastic swords, knight's helmet and dragon costume (it's actually a toy story Rex costume, but it serves a purpose) then spend the morning being knights, slaying dragons and jabbing the odd tourist in the back of the knees.  Most of them don't mind and there are now many stranger's holiday photo albums that include pictures of the munchkins waging war.

Mini munch joins in and is usually made to be the dragon, but today he did get to have a quick chew on monster munch's second favourite sword.

Freshly squeezed orange juice in the castle cafe finished off the morning.  Monster munch declared the day "the best day ever", but then yesterday was also given the same tag line - I suspect he's picked it up from cbeebies.
