EuroWeinstein 2019: London Part 6

Our last full day in London.



 It was hot, so we headed to Never Never Land!

On our way to the Arnos Grove Tube station for the last time, we stopped and played an payed homage to the London gem known as "Bombie", where you three kiddos spent some great time playing, pretending, running, and lounging. 






Then we headed into town...and within minutes y'all were all set in swimsuits and playing in the sand and water in the shade of a giant pirate ship and a mermaid lagoon.



That's right...we hit up the Princess Diana playground - which is Peter Pan themed to the max! Mermaid Lagoon; James Hook's ship, Lost boys camp, Teepees, hidden treasure chests! 





















After we couldn't get into the treasure chest, we found another treasure...ice cream!




 We loaded up and took the long, leisurely route to Aunt Deborah's and Uncle Keith's house for supper.

By the phone booth...


 ...in the subway...




...then a long but leisurely walk up the hill...



until it was picnic time with the fam! We all chilled, ate, relaxed, and played. And you two even made up a game that was not too unlike baseball, except it utilized Deborah's crab apples and juice bottles. 











... and that lovely little afternoon in Deborah's and Keith's perfectly British back garden is how we wrapped up our perfectly British stay in London.

That's right: the BEACH! 2017's Beach trip to beloved Galveston was another amazing, creative, fun, challenging, laughter-filled, jam-packed, sunshiney, shrimp-eaty, crab-hunty, castle-buildy, sea-shell hunty, ukulele playey, wave-hoppy, jellyfish stingy, board game-playing, music video-watching, singy, huggy, eaty, beachy, sandy fun time adventure.



All of my siblings and their families, and Mimi and Pops and Nana, of course, were there!




And you know what? Of course there are challenges and feelings with this many people put together for a week; but we've learned, and we listen, and we love and this was our best beach trip yet!

Just take a look and a listen:



There's so much more to see and hear and do at the beach! So enjoy this photo dump of our amazing trip!
