Blue whales are the largest mammal on Earth. But we saw a different type of Wales! We went to Cardiff Castle and the Animal Wall. The iron doors that we walked through to get inside were huge. Inside of Cardiff Castle we saw a huge catapult called a Trebuchet. It was right next to a tunnel that Brock and I ran up to get inside of and see it. Whenever we did we walked a little. Then we passed what the kitchen would have looked like, nothing like what we have now. It was neat to look out of tower holes that the soldiers would have shot through. Whenever we were about to climb the tower Brock saw something that looked totally creepy, or at least to walk up! It was a rocky and very bumpy staircase as you might assume. It would have been useful though if you wanted a good shot. When we walked out from the really ‘cool’ Cardiff Castle we headed toward the Animal Wall. It had a vulture, bear, kitten and much more.
It sounds and looks really neat! We went to the new Ford Center to watch the Icemen Hockey game last Friday night. We thought about you because Sam Titzer sat in front of us, and we talked about your blogs. We are going to the Stadium again this week for an Aces game, thanks to your mom giving us tickets! Glad to hear you are having such a great time

That castle is cool!
ReplyDeleteWe do not know much about the animal wall. Can you tell us more?
we also turned on Skype.
It was fun to Skype with my class! I told you on Skype that the animal wall started with 9 animals (hyena, wolf, ape, seal, lynx, bear and three different kinds of lions) but I couldn't remember when it was built. It was built in 1890. Then in 1931 6 more animals were added to the wall. They were a pelican, raccoon, leopard, anteater, beaver and the vulture that you saw on the photo we took that I put on the Cardiff post.
