The Trip of a Lifetime!

Castle Fraser

Sparky flew to Aberdeen, Scotland to visit Castle Fraser for the month of October in 2012. He was born at the castle. He traveled to the United States to live at Hickory Hills Arts Academy when he was little. He learned a lot about living in a castle when he was there.

Dragons sleep on the very top of the round tower. They curl up to keep warm.
