Sisters, nieces and family: Oh YAY!
Part 1
On the second week of June, Natalie, Remi and Aysia came for a fabulous visit
a few days before Rusty, Mason, Jen and Vanessa, and they literally hit the ground running
and never stopped until they left! THEY know how to tour a country!
First stop: Windsor Castle! It was a beautiful day so it made it really fun to look around the castle and grounds.
The main garden inside the walls of the castle were absolutely gorgeous
St. Georges Chapel on the left and the castle on the right. This is the view from where the guards stand.
Hampton Court Palace
The rose garden
Remi, Josh, Eliza, Aysia, Anne, Ike and Ty
Inside the "Magic Gardens" commissioned by The Duchess of Cambridge - Kate Middleton
This part of the gardens is mainly for little children, but the climbing structures
were pretty brilliant even for a teenage boy!
Natalie and Rem-a-lem
After the kids tamed the dragon...
Ike holding up the dragons nest
They slid down the hills over and over! It was hilarious!!
A beautiful tunnel of wisteria
It's amazing to me how they NEVER tire of ice cream haha!
We even got to dress up in royal cloaks to wear around the castle grounds.
(It got so hot though, we took them off!)
This is how we roll....(check out Ike's face! LOL)

The next day...Rusty, Natalie, Aysia and I went into London for the day while....
London Eye
Before heading into London, we dropped the older kids off at Thorpe Theme Park. They rode some of Europe's largest and fastest rollercoasters! They had an ABSOLUTE blast!! And it rained much of the day!
Saying goodbye to beautiful Eliza. We LOVED having her!
One little stop to Sunbury Antique Market early in the morning before we took Eliza to the airport.
