Before leaving for the day, we chatted with our neighbor for 1/2 hour.He wasn't born when we came!
A picture I really liked.
Hello, operator?
We had a lovely weekend. V and I celebrated 13 years of marriage (really, am I that old?) with dinner at the Case and seeing Avatar. It was a great night to reconnect.
Saturday, we spent the day at Stratford upon Avon, Shakespeare's home. It was such a charming town. We visited the Anne Hathaway house and Shakespeare's birth home. Both houses had great period dressed actors sharing the details of the times. It was incredibly interesting. It was the law until the 20th century that you should beat your wife if she burnt the bread three times in a row! S shouted, "What happened to the husband if he burnt the bread!"
We also strolled around town, had a nice Italian lunch and walked around the river area. We even managed to escape going to the butterfly house. We planned to go, (S really wanted to) but the tickets were $30 for the family. The clerk said it would take about 20 minutes to see the butterflies. Ugh! So, the kids happily got trinkets in the gift shop and we headed to the park.
Sunday, we had friends over for the kids and grilled burgers. Later we spent 2 hours playing outside with the neighbor boys. Biking, football (soccer), tag, and some good old fashion American kickball. It was really a blast.
