Castle Howard

Adventure Playground

The teepee in the background was a latter with five levels of landings. One slide (the metal tubes) on the third level and a taller slide on the fourth level. There were several other neat toys, like a four way teeter tauter, a four way bouncy tire swing, jumping stones that each beeped a different tone as they were compressed....umm, guess we should've taken more pictures.
Gardens

Statues - I think the girls learned (if they didn't already know) what the difference between boys and girls were. There may have been over a hundred naky statues throughout the castle and gardens.

Panaramic (at least the best our digital could take) of the castle
