Castle Camo and 40/44

Once all of our "stuff" arrived, we knew that we needed to stay at home, unpack, and organize.  However, that is not the way we roll at the Manwaring House!!  Instead, we left the disaster and headed to a castle to play games.  Our first week here we bought a National Heritage pass and now we are determined to visit everything we possibly can while we are here in the UK.  Colby found this fantastic castle that would be perfect for Castle Camo or 40/44, so we headed south to Winchester, and Wolvesey Castle.
From the National Heritage website:
Wolvesey has been an important residence of the wealthy and powerful Bishops of Winchester since Anglo-Saxon times. Standing next to Winchester Cathedral, the extensive surviving ruins of the palace date largely from the 12th-century work of Bishop Henry of Blois. The last great occasion here was on 25 July 1554, when Queen Mary and Philip of Spain held their wedding breakfast in the East Hall.


The boys were thrilled that their Nerf swords arrived safely from the USA.  We immediately took the swords, our best  running shoes (boots for me) and headed to a castle to play.  





40/44 running for the base.  Daddy is still super fast and was the winner for the day!
