JORD AND TARYN AND ABBY'S VISIT IN LONDON


Jordan and Taryn visited us in London. Abby is so cute! My favorite part was feeding the ducks at Kenningston Gardens and having 'tea' and going to a restuarant for dinner. We walked all over the place and up and down so many stairs. I hate stairs.

WEEK OUT WITH THE STUDENTS

We went on a 5 day trip by bus with the students. I like riding on the bus and staying in the youth hostels. The day after we got home Jord and Taryn visited us.

Haworth

Cemeteries are interesting. Dead people are there. I always like to know why they are dead. Mom says that everyone will die. This cemetery is at Haworth, the home where the Bronte sisters lived. When they were alive 50% of babies died before they were 5 years old. Sad.

Beatrix Potter's House


Mom and I went to Hilltop Farm where Beatrix Potter wrote Peter Rabbit. She bought me one. I love it!

Preston and Liverpool


I met a friend in Preston. The countryside where the Mormon missionaries taught in the 1830's and '40's was beautiful.

Chatsworth

We went to Chatsworth which is Pemberly in Pride and Prejudice. Do you recognize the statue on the left and the stairs behind the picture of mom and me?


Stratford on Avon

We rode a bus to Stratford, where Shakespear was born and lived.We were gone all day. We watched A Winter's Tale and didn't get home until 1:30 in the morning.
