Legoland!


Yesterday we surprised our children again with another treat~LEGOLAND!

We of course didn't tell them until after they had gotten their uniforms on, eaten breakfast, etc. Jim and I love to catch our children unaware!

We set off immediately, for a good hour and half drive. Unfortunately Andrew got carsick and gave up his breakfast about 1/2 way there. What were we to do? Fortunately we found a T.K. Maxx, (England's version of T.J. Maxx) and bought a pair of pants (trousers).

That, plus a lot of traffic for Ascot (a huge horse race, where everyone dresses up to go and all the women wear hats~see below~


meant that it was quite a drive~~but we made it! Here are a few of our favorite pic's of the day~


New friends~




and foes~


LOTS of Legos~




Favorite rides~




Learning how to drive~





A great memory, and a great day especially for Jim because he is now done! He just finished his bibliography today, hooray!

Tomorrow is his birthday, and he couldn't wish for a better gift than to be finished, now we just wait to hear back from his advisor on what he might need to change. Pray for this please~

Also, please pray that we can sell our van. Thank you!

Another horse thing, eh? Glad you just stuck to the main road!

What a fun day. It looked like perfect weather. And I love the duck picture--perfect!

Congratulations and many happy returns to Jim. I'll pray that your van sells in a twinkling and that the people don't want it until you really can't use it anymore.
