While on Holiday

We recently went on holiday to Bath and Wales with Grammy. The pictures tell a better story than I can. I will just mention a couple of lessons that I learned on our trip...

1. My children can whine in harmony...for long periods of time...the volume/intensity of the whining is directly related to the tiredness/hungriness of afor mentioned children

2. A thirty pound 3 year old will crush a pet snail if she steps on it. She will then cry.

3. Birds will attack a one year old with a cracker. Then he will chase them.

4. My mother can look at rocks all day without getting bored.

5. My husband can also look at rocks all day without getting bored if the rocks form a wall /castle/ancient structure of some kind.

"Cwimb? Up?" Eli and the Rocks, and no, we did not let him climb them.

Here we are at Bath. A sad thing happened here.... As some of you may know Ava has had an imaginary friend named "Tomato" for the last 4-5 months. We don't like him very much because he tends to be very naughty. While in Bath, Ava informed us that her friend Tomato had climbed to the top of Bath Abbey (which you can see in the background). While we was up there he died...because he was old... RIP Tomato.

This one's for you Lora Lynn...Where are we??

Obviously climbing is exactly what we did!

Here we are at Southerndown Beach in Wales. This was the high point of the trip for the kids. I learned that Eric and I have spawned two baby mountain goats and my heart skipped a beat more than once as we played on the rocks...

Caerphilly Castle- This is leaningest leaning tower there is....Good job honey!

Here we are at Tinturn Abby (Wales)... At this point the kids were DONE!
