To Belvoir Castle we go.... It was our first stately home visit when we came to England, and now we've come back a year later. They were having a fair day with jugglers, story tellers and other kids activities. We had afternoon tea and played in the play room and then the playground. I only wish we had more time to walk the grounds. Our main focus was the outdoor, evening production of Cinderella. The play was set as though 6 WWII evacuee children were putting on the play for themselves to pass the time, in the north of England. It was an excellent production and really captured the children's imagination. Unfortunately, the English weather was not kind to us. It rained and blew, but the actors soldiered on and so we did too. Any hardy Minnesota can take a bit of cold. It was a great day.

It was the holiday weekend here, so 3 days off. Saturday, we spent three hours at Bradgate Park biking. Monday, we saw G-Force with the kids (a bit to old for them) and then walked around downtown. I cleaned house, V and the kids had a water fight and later we did some tax chores. All in all a good weekend.
