While staying in Petoskey, we traveled to a nearby city to visit a real life castle...www.castlefarms.com. We weren't sure what to expect or if it would be a good place for the kids, but in the end it turned out to be a great place to visit. It's mainly known for a wedding venue, but they have a self-guided tour that you can take and they have a questionnaire for kids to kids to complete too. We had such a good time and took so many pictures that I really had a difficult time narrowing it down. Enjoy them!

The castle! Isn't it beautiful!?!?

Aiden and Madelynn playing chess. There were chess board all over the castle...some small and some big.
Malachi checking out the chess game.
This was one of four giant chess sets around the castle!
There was a children's alphabet garden. There was one plant for each letter of the alphabet. Aiden plant was Astilbe.
Malachi and Madelynn's plant was the Money plant...if only it really grew dollar bills! :)
I loved this picture of Madelynn and Aiden. They truly are best friends!
Malachi and daddy down in the train garden. We were up in the top of the train garden.
Malachi pretending to eat watermelon.
The trio was getting tired and Malachi crawled up in this chair and wanted to go to sleep. How sweet is that!
In one of the rooms, they had two carriages that you could climb up in and explore!
The butterfly garden.
The pond
The Queen's garden.
Aiden and Madelynn playing checkers. We're starting to learn how to play checkers lately. There is one at the library that they love to play!
Aiden and Madleynn walking through the Enchanted Forest. We were looking for fairies!
