York

This was a very busy couple of days.  We managed to get to big trips into two days.  Yesterday was Edinburgh and today was York.  Again one of the must go to places whenever I go to England.  We were there quit early so it wasn't very busy to start off with which was nice.

The Shambles the street made famous from the Harry Potter move when he goes to get his wand.

Of course it wouldn't be a trip to York without breakfast at Betty's.  So yummy!!!

These three are so cute.  I just loved this picture.

We actually thought that this man was painting on Ms. C's had.  LOL

Standing outside the York Minster.

Waiting their turn to head up to the top of the minster.

This was their view part way up.

Crossing over the roof to go to the next set of stairs.

Their view from the very top.  There are a lot of stairs.  LOL

They had to take a little breather at the top.  :)

Stefan sadly was too small to go.  But next time for sure.

Coming down you do get a little bit dizzy going around and around.

After we went to the most amazing train museum.  It was spectacular.

All of the children liked being able to get up close to the trains.

I really enjoyed the small train ride that we all had.

I have never seen so many trains before.

These trains were all sizes and age.

I thought that this was really neat because they were able to go underneath a train and see how it works.

We took a little shuttle back to our cars and there were some very tired people on it.

We had done a lot of walking.  LOL

Their unsynchronized jump at the end of the day.  LOL

That night we were able to go out for dinner with my Auntie Margret, Uncle Jim and Grandma.

Afterwards it was time to celebrate Darien's 13th birthday. 

He was so excited to receive a new scooter specially order while we were in England.  Happy Birthday Darien.

Edinburgh For the Day

This has always been one of my favorite trips when going to England and that is getting on the train first thing in the morning and heading to Edinburgh Scotland for the day.  This was a little bit more of an under taking with my four boys in tow but it was great.  We even managed to have my cousin and her family come along for the day.  :)

Heading into the Edinburgh Castle.

These two are such hams.  LOL

And so are these two, or just copy cats.  ;)

They all had fun exploring the castle.

I had a hard time picking pictures to put up as they are all so good.

Inside the priosn.

I really enjoyed listening to they man play the bagpipes it sounds so amazing.

Edinburgh in the back round.

Amazing views from the castle.

Everyone was very happy to pose with they guy.  It was so neat becuase this was the same guy that Joylane and Amber posed with 4 years ago.  LOL

These were the real thing.

The gardens down from the castle.  I thought that everyones hats looked amazing, thanks to Auntie Heather.  LOL

Of course there is always ice cream involved when we went out together. 

Having some fun at the park.

The Olympics were coming.

This beautiufl clock was made out of flowers.  Amazing.

Twins.  LOL

Everyone had a turn trying on the funny hats.

You could almost throw this one like a frisbee.  LOL

Sweet style.

In the end this is the one that everyone got.

Captian Morgan taking a pose.  LOL

The day just got better and better.  We were able to go on a tour of the Britannia the Royal Families yatch.  It was very beautiful.  Here everyone is listening to their tour.

Looking at the amazing knots that this gentle man had done.

We totally belong on this boat.  LOL

I think there is plenty of seating for our family.

Enjoying a rest and some hot chocolates in the tea room.

Even the big kids got to have a spot of tea.  :)

The boys really enjoyed trying on the captains hat.

Darien is meant to wear a uniform.  LOL

So cute.

Deboarding.  LOL

One last pose before the day was over.

I am so thankful that I was able to take our boys on this trip.  It was so much fun and it was great having my cousin and her family there too.
