| The Colosseum in Rome |
Our friends from America finished up their visit the first few days of the month. We sure loved having them stay with us.
Oldest Kiddo celebrated her birthday with her friends on a guided Harry Potter walk of the city. The guide was phenomenal, and my girl was so happy to act out a scene from the movie with him. The video takes place at Leadenhall Market which doubles as Diagon Alley. They are acting the scene where Harry asks Hagrid how he is to obtain all of the supplies for Hogwarts. Listen closely for her British accent, it's adorable.
The kids continue to be busy at school. Oldest Kiddo's grade took their standardized tests, and she's happy they've ended. The British schools sure spend a lot of time revising (British for reviewing) for the tests. She's pumped for a two-night outdoor trip in a few weeks. Youngest Kiddo's reading is taking off, and he is still in love with Legos.
The kids had a week off for the half-term break, and we spent the week in Florence & Rome. Posts on that gorgeous trip are on the way. Now we need to start planning for summer, which does not start until the middle of July for the kids.
Matt and I have returned to finding ways to keep the sun from waking us when it peeks in our windows at 4:30am. We sure don't complain when the daylight sticks around until almost 10pm.
Bring on the summer!
Love the newest family photo! It is so fun to hear about all of your adventures, and I am seriously going to use your blog for planning when I finally make it to Europe! The Harry Potter tour sounds way fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The kids are getting so big that getting a picture with any sort of background is getting really tricky! I'll be more than happy to help you plan a visit ;)
