This castle was literally about a quarter mile from the slate museum, and it was also free(can you sense a theme), we again had to stop. It was the perfect end to our trip. We were the only ones on the hill for most of the time and the kids ran, played, and tried to get rid of energy. Dolbadarn Castle is a tiny castle in comparison to some others we had seen this trip, but the view was spectacular!
We are big fans of our self portrait for our family. We were going to get some photos done this Autumn, but we might just stick with this one because it is perfect.
There was a forest area near the castle, and we had to explore some more before leaving. The kids found lovely trees for hiding. They also ended up with sticks and were sword fighting, I told you..sword fighting is a must in this family. Mike wasn't going to bring Mason up the hill because it was quite steep and we thought his legs might be getting tired. Mason had a different mind that day, found a trail that none of us had seen and started his way up. On the way up Mike found him a sword and told him to go save Taylor who had been captured by bad guys. Well, if you know Taylor she did not like this idea. She fought Carter and Brennan herself and ran away from the game that sweet daddy was trying to make up for Mason's benefit. So I stepped in as the damsel in distress and Mason saved the day. He was very proud of himself, but he still wouldn't give me a hug as his final act of rescue.
Mike then tripped on this random stone and went down completely. Mason laughed while running the opposite direction when Mike asked for help up.
Then he tried to push him back down when Mike did get up. All the while he thought it was a great game.
What a great family trip! One of my favourites in terms of exploring and relaxing all rolled into one. Cameron about sums up the feeling of us all, done and done. He was fast asleep before we got back down to the car.
