Castle Czocha

     So today we ventured out to another castle, Castle Czocha.  This castle was about an hour away from Jelenia Gora and was a bit smaller that the one we saw the first couple of days we were here.  That is Chris in Connor in the front there.  We didn't get to go inside the castle, for they were filming some German movie here, but it was still interesting to see this castle.  Although this castle is in Poland, I guess it was German occupied for a while for most of the stuff was German.

   Now I know what your thinking, what the heck is this?  This is actually a stroke of brillance if you ask me.  This is where archers would stand post and they would fire their arrows outside the tiny crack.  Arrows could get out, but nothing in! Genious!!

     While the archers were on the 2nd level, these guys were on the 3rd, they would open this trap door and could pour things out like hot tar or throw tomotoes or something. Cool huh!

Say cheese!

      After we had spent the day driving to this castle, it actually rained on the way back. It was a really good rain too, it was nice to actually see this rain, since it was the first time I actually saw it. Not that I wanted to raining the whole time I was here, but I was glad to see this mysterious rain.

Ok, so don't cross here, guaranteed you'll get hit.



Absolutely no pooping (LOL)

      After we got back we decided to go with Gregor over to a hotel/spa to use their swimming pool. It was very nice and this hotel actually used to be a castle that was remodeled. 

   While on this little trip to the pool, Connor also got to do his first SWIM!  He seemed to liked. Daddy dunked him and he really didn't seem to like that too much, but I just swam him around the pool and he seemed to enjoy it!

Yeah! Swim trunks!!

I love swimming with mommy!

Till next time!!
