Beaumaris Castle is our most favourite castle thus far in all our journey's. Once again the rain was coming, this time is had no mercy! We had delayed our start of the day because we weren't sure we'd get to the car without becoming soaked to the bone. We left a little before lunch time and got to the car before the rain started again. You know the kind of rain you drive through where you can't see anything regardless of how fast your wipers are going? That is exactly what we were doing, and it was pretty fun. Mike mentioned to the children that they might want to say a prayer that the rain will stop when we get to the castle. Taylor immediately started to pray. About 2 minutes before we got there the clouds separated and the sun came out! The children were excited that their prayers had been answered, and so were Mike and I. However, we maybe should have told them to pray that the rain would stay away, oops. We were able to get this amazing family picture in front and get into the castle before the rain really started to come down again.
Just a few small puddles to avoid here and there. I'm not talking about the moat, that was there before the rain.
What's a stair case if not to climb it, it was rude of them not to create a hand rail, but Mike made due with what he had.
I wish we would have thrown Cameron up on Mike's shoulders for this boys picture. I guess we have to go back and recreate it sometime.
Taylor got a notebook from one of the shops in the other castles and had fun taking notes throughout our other adventures.
There were so many hall ways to explore and we had plenty of time to do it because the rain started again, with the wind, thunder, and lightening. We decided to stay in the castle hallways and really explore--we may or may not have explored a few places that we shouldn't have. It was a little spooky.
We found a handsome gargoyle.
A bit on the wet side--Cameron was not happy anymore.
Such a weird day. The sun came out with a brightness that was blinding, maybe that was because we hadn't seen it in a few days.
This was one of the churches by our chalet.
