We took the train out on Friday night to Kenilworth to visit a friend of Kevin's from his mission and his family! They were so great to have us out! And were great hosts! thanks Atkins fam!
Saturday we went to Warwick Castle!
It was really fun and a different atmosphere than the other castles we have visited! They have people in costume and do play acting! Here we are waiting for the trebuchet to go off.
Joey was too busy taking pictures of the swan that was walking around! She would hold up the camera and say "cheese swan!" I wonder where she learned that?
Jowin and Hazel! Instant friends! Hazel was so nice to share all her toys and they played so nice together! It made the weekend that much more fun! I got a day off from being her constant playmate!
Some shots of the castle! It dates back to the 11th Century!
The city of Warwick from the castle tower. We walked up 567 steps! It was a lot!
Oh Jo Jo!
Oh Hazel! It is fun to take pictures of other kids, they actually look at you!
The girls just running in the fields! It was so nice to be out of the city and actually have a field to run in!
Did I mention the Atkins live across the street from another amazing castle! yep it is true Kenilworth Castle! I made every one pose for a picture! Susan was a good sport! Thanks guys it turned out great!
So happy to have some space! And a friend! And ride in a car! And rent a paddle boat! It was a great couple of days for Joey! Can't you tell?
This is how I think a castle should be! We didn't get to go inside but you can and walk up to the ruins! It was so beautiful!
We were sad to say goodbye! and so happy that we went! Joey loved Hazel, she wanted to do everything she did. She even got a bike out of the deal! Thanks again! And she went to the bathroom on the potty! Just like Hazel!
The funniest part about enjoying the country was we didn't get home until midnight and only to find out all the tube lines to our house were closed. So we had to switch three time and get off pretty far and walk. And on top of that the lift in our building was broken! It was a long walk up to the fifth floor! Bike and all!
We had so much fun! Thanks again Atkins for showing us the English Countryside! To say the least... We loved it!

I have been wondering how to leave a comment on your blog! And now I can. It looks like you guys enjoyed your time in Spain. Hazel is still talking about Joey and asking when she can play with her again. The pictures are great from the weekend you guys came up. Hope your trip back home was good.
