Christmas vacation - Norwich Castle

We drove to Norwich to visit Grandma and Grandpa B, who are currently living there and serving as missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

Grandma and Grandpa took us to see Norwich Castle. Norwich Castle was built by the Normans in the 1060s and 1070s. It was really cool!

Today, it is a historical site and museum. Grandma and Grandpa were great tour guides. The kids enjoyed the fun activities and learning projects that were available for kids inside the castle, including dress-ups, medieval games, and more. The kids figured out how to work a catapult and how to build an archway out of styrofoam stones. It was so much fun. 











The main area was the keep. In it's original state, the balcony level was actually an entire upper floor. Then there was a higher balcony in the rafters for musicians.
