Extras

Before I get too behind I just wanted to share some random pictures.
Letty's school has been studying the Titanic.  They had an "Edwardian" dress up day and they had to go as someone on board the Titanic.  I encouraged her to be a maid since it was relatively simple.

 Caught red handed sneaking some cereal.
 During term break we went to a soft play place.  I found Gracie in line by herself all hooked up and ready to climb.  She had a blast.
 Sprout enjoyed a fast ride down the slide with Letty.
 Letty (Hermione) on dress up as your favorite character day.  Luckily it was easy since she has the uniform and she borrowed a tie from dad.  I must say I don't really enjoy dress up days.  I didn't like them as a kid either and now I'm plagued with them since her school seems to think they are really fun, ah well.

 Down the road not very far from us you find this.  The town to the right is called Rottingdean.  I'm not sure what their offical title is, but I call them the white cliffs of Brighton, and they are made from the same stuff (chalk) as the white cliffs of Dover.

 Looking so big
 Collecting chalk.  The white "rocks" behind them are all chalk
Enjoying some time at the park (where we end up almost everyday)

London

Several weekends ago we took the train up to London for the day.  We didn't hit as many spots as we would have liked but we left when everyone was still happy so we considered it successful.  
 The flight section of the Science Center.  Standing in front of the Wright brothers photos.
 Little A sitting on some flight ride at the Science Center
 Outside of the Natural History Museum, we didn't make it inside this time.
 Buckingham Palace gates.

Victoria Memorial right in front of Buckingham Palace.  Gracie was already pretty worn out.
