World Traveler

Apologies for our lack of blogging in the past month! As many of you know, we went to England with Grandma Janet and Grandpa Ed in April. We would never bore you with all the delightful details, but want to share some highlights from our trip:

Eole and Daddy loved standing on the Prime Meridian line at Greenwich. Mommy took Daddy and Eole to one of her favorite places: the Peter Pan Statue in Hyde Park. However, Mommy and Daddy took precautions to hold on tight to Eole's stroller and to NOT talk about all the grand things she would become when she grows up so that she wouldn't run away with the fairies to Never, Never Land. Mommy and Daddy loved all the tasty pub food, even though some of it even resembled Eole's mushy peas. Speaking of peas, we took a break from the commotion of the city to rest on the grass of Kensington Gardens. Eole was enjoying some mushy peas when a curious golden retriever came trotting up and licked the pea mush off her face. While Eole thought this whole affair terrifying, Mommy and Daddy had a good laugh. Mommy took Eole and Daddy to Hamleys, the greatest toy store on earth. Daddy may have even
had more fun in the toy store than Eole. And finally, we mustn't leave out the episode where our baby girl showed a new skill. We were riding on the busy tube line at rush hour with Eole sitting on Daddy's lap. Daddy was busy talking with Mommy, and so neither one noticed when Eole reached her little fingers into the pocket of a man standing nearby. The man, believing that he was being pick-pocketed (as indeed he was) whirled around to confront his tiny nemesis and we all started
laughing when we saw the guilty Eole with a fist full of papers from the man's pocket. All in all, we had a delightful time.
