Dear Rebecca,

I believe I deserve the tickets because this summer is the first summer we were unable to take a vacation in years. We recently moved into a new home and it has been a good thing but costly to the travel budget. Movies at the Spectrum have been our outings. Also we have been obliged to stick around due to my son needing surgery to remove his tonsils. A free outing to Medieval Times would be an excellent way to end the summer. Thank you for all the great ideas and helping me stay connected with the world outside of the OC! Take care,

Kathryn

"Leave your coolness at the door"- indeed!Ha! It's so much fun to go here - we have not been in years. I still cherish my plastic MT mug- time for a new one?

My kids and I would love to go to Medieval Times! Why? Because it sounds totally unique, we've never been there, and it appears to be a great adventure! We love adventures and have been short of those not involving sand this summer. Here's hoping for the opportunity!

not so sure how deserving i am, but i love a man in tights. as well as gnawing on bones.

I strongly believe my family and my two adorable kids deserve this special event because we as a family never been to Medieval Times! This is the perfect time for us because we love to spending time as a family and we're a beautiful family as well.

I recently started dating a widower with an 8 year old. I myself have a 3 year old. Together with work, full time parenting duties and children's sporiting activities; we do not have much time and money for anything else. I would like to see him and his child enjoy an evening out with out the stress of trying to re calculate numbers to make sure he will make the mortgage by the end of the month as I have seen him do in the past just so he can give his daughter a enjoyable day out. I would love the tickets to see a dad and his daughter make fun and new memories with us.

I've heard so much about this place, but have never been. Sounds awesome, we'd love the tickets. Thanks!

Wow.. that will be an awesome experience to go with the kids..I never been there, and it will be fun to win the tickets before the school starts! "

I would absolutely appreciate these tickets. No one in my family has ever been to MT--how can that be? My older daughter (age 9) devours medieval-themed books and I just know she'd get a big kick out of this show. Thank you for the opportunity.

Melissa, you've won the tickets! Contact me ASAP. calendar@parentingoc.com

Thanks, Rebecca

My 7 year old son wants to go so badly that he hand-wrote this entry (emailed to Rebecca): "Please pick me to win the tickets to Medieval Times. Some of my friends are on vacation and I have to stay home, but I want to eat with my hands." Gianluca Megerdichian, 7 years old

Dearest Fair Lady Rebecca-ith

Nay, I beseech thee to bless us with your fine and generous offer for tickets to Medievil Times. The wee lad and I have fallen on hard times since we discovered that the boys father was not the Court Scholar as we had all thought. Nay, instead it had been discovered some 5 years ago that he was the Court Jester/Village Idiot in disguise! You can imagine the shock and sorrow we have suffered. We have since been banished from the fine Village and sent to the bowels of South Laguna. I have't seen a man in tights since and am feeling ready to embark on such a feast for the eyes. It would be a fine gesture for my deprived son and I to be in the presence of these honorable and noble men. Alas, to have a fine meal for the first time in years... We would be eternally grateful.

It is difficult to, in clear conscience, deprive the poor boy whose throat was recently cut (in the previous comment) of some fine entertainment and a good meal. If the lad and his fine mother would care to share our table, we would be honored.

Your Loyal Subject,

Lady L.
