Exploring England with Grandma



 Grandma Daley has been visiting for the past three weeks.  We have been having such a great time.  We've done so many things.  We started by taking Paige to lunch on her last day of school.  She got out a day before the rest of the children.
We had a house full of winners.  Claire won for the best blown egg.

Erin and Seth won for best Easter hats


 We took an overnight trip to the Southwestern coast to Plymouth.  We visited the National Aquarium.








Day two of our trip took us to Castle Drogo.  The newest castle in England.  Built in 1910.


 The children were entertained by a Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt.




 Needless to say, we were pretty wiped out after the trip.
Easter came with a very simple, but fun hunt.
Today we visited a 400 year old English Manor at Avebury
 



Avebury is unique in that they encourage people to touch things in the house, to dress up, and to lie down in the beds.
