We were able to host the Iversons for a few days while they toured London. Their trip got off on a rocky start as their flight was delayed and they ended up getting here a day later than planned. But, ever positive and resilient, they were still able to get in everything they had planned. It was great to hear about their adventures the next morning over breakfast. We’ve already put down a few more things we need to do in the city!
Before Ben and Jenn took off Wednesday afternoon to Scotland (Ben’s parents are serving a mission there), we took them on one more adventure . . . to the park!
As the adults lagged behind, it was great to see the kids in a moment of solidarity!
Of course, the ‘park’ is not just any park. There are many sites and wonders to see . . some we haven’t even explored yet.
The bridge:
. . . where we could check up on the baby ducks:
The artist creating his own masterpiece within the park:
Of course, Chiswick House:
We actually went inside this time for a tour and learned a lot!
I have decided these audio guides are the best things! The kids love listening to them as well as having them to tell us where to go to next. When we are done touring, we always get to share what our favorite parts were and what we learned.
After a quick treat of ice cream, we headed back home to say goodbye to the Iversons as they headed to the train.
It was a short visit but we were so glad to have them come visit and explore!
As we tried to pull ourselves together for the rest of the day, we found some great surprises they had left to help us remember our dear friends.
I have decided Thorton’s toffee is a must . . . one of the new places we have to explore in London! Thanks, guys!
