Then they got to try the art of punting- propelling a flat bottom boat with a pole along the River Cherwell. They drifted quietly through the unspoilt Christ Church meadows, where Lewis Carroll wrote Alice Through the Looking Glass.
I don't see Emma in these boat pictures but aren't those boats pretty cool? I love the colors.
Then off to Warwick castle. On arrival, they had time to explore this magnificent, medieval castle. In 1068, William the Conqueror fortified the site, which overlooks the river Avon. They explored the dark and gloomy dungeon, gruesome torture chamber and splendid armory.
They were whisked back in time and invited to train as a soldier in a specially recreated medieval encampment! They were taught the arts of sword fighting, bill drill training and other pre-battle rituals before being treated to the spectacular sight of the firing of the world's largest trebuchet (catapult).
I love the look on her face above, she looks like she is thinking, "he he, I get to hit you with a stick!" I am wondering who she is standing across from. Here is the other side:
That look tells me it has got to be one of those boys, Jaxon maybe? (the boy with the stripe shirt and glasses) I guess I will find out when she gets home:)
I just love to see her doing all these fun things. I am so grateful to Mary Letterman for taking and posting all these great pictures.
