It's a jolly holiday.... (2)

I've been promising Barney for months that I would take him to Carrickfergus Castle during the summer holidays, and he didn't forget that promise. So we headed off for the day with little Rosie and he was really excited.

It turned out to be a fun and educational trip. We toured the castle and the kids enjoyed the models of ancient castle dwellers that were there. We enjoyed a game of super sized snakes and ladders in the castle tower and then had a picnic lunch in the grounds. We then spent the afternoon on the beach throwing stones into the sea just the other side of the castle walls. It was a really good day out and even little Rosie is a bit obsessed with castles now.
