While Christopher took the older 3 kids to Amsterdam, Zack, Nick and I decided to have a little night on the town. We walked into town to see a movie, and was shocked to be the ONLY people in the whole theater. Well, that was a first for us! It worked out perfectly since Nick is not the quietest baby during movies. He did love having his own seat though! We then took it nice and slow walking back home enjoying the beauty of this place we are blessed to live. The magic of the Salisbury Cathedral just never gets old. And British babies are always bundled up in these full body bodysuit coat things. Nick's makes him look like a little teddy bear and I couldn't love it more!
At the end of half term, Year 7 showed verve and unity when completing some team-building challenges under the guidance of Year 11. Table football matches, snacks and a good laugh in the Year 11 common room followed.
This castle is one I've had my eye on forever. In fact, last year I dropped the kids off at school and high tailed it the 2+ hours out to Minehead to see this castle. It was better than I could have imaged! Because I had to hurry back to pickup the kids, I didn't get to wonder around like I wanted to, so when we were going to be so close, I figured we should take the kids and explore it in depth! Thankfully our kids are incredible in the car on long drives. Add in a book on tape or some comedy show, and we are golden! Just don't get Ben to dj for you - you'll end up with Irish drinking songs....
