Princess's & Knights at the Castle

We got up to bright sunshine and got rid of all our rubbish from last night before heading off to Warwick town centre. It was about a 20 minute walk to the castle and we made sure we were there bang on 10.00am when it opened. Thomas, Jack, Matthew and Samuel were so excited as they all love castles. We got our tickets and Thomas wanted to see the Dungeons which are new for 2009. Ella, the smallest of the five, wanted to go to the Princess Tower where we had to learn to bow and curtsy and dressed up as knights protecting the princess. We watched the knights battle it out in the castle courtyard and a fireball being catapulted 200 metres. We watched Eagles flying above us in the bird display and we were up in the most highest towers.















When we got back we had a BBQ on the park benches next to Derwent6. A fun day!!!!!!
