We are now back in AZ & it's good to be home. First things first...we were DYING for some yummy Mexican food. Our first lunch back is celebrated at Rosa's!

We spent a lot of time in the pool during our short time in AZ.  Ella got herself ready & brought the pool bag to the door.

Someone likes to pose for pictures!

We could spend all day in the sun. We missed the warm sunny weather!

Ella loves to play with her cousins.

 

We missed our furry little pets.

We had a BLAST while we were England, but it's time to go home. We will miss it here &  now have to leave our cozy little cottage.

Ella & her friend playing with the fish at a restaurant.

Feeding each other dessert...Awwww!

Ella's doesn't want to lick the popsicle, but she wants to hold it, so it's just dripping down her hand...cold sticky mess!

A bird flew into our house & we couldn't get it out! I had to catch it with my hands...ewww!

Ella wanted to see it up close...

...but then it started flapping its wings & Ella got scared.

Later that day we went to a shop & Ella wanted to help out at the register.

Spent the day at Lego Land!

The Fairy Brook Story Tales was a cute little boat ride. Ella liked dancing to the music & seeing everything made out of Legos.

Went on a train ride many times!

Having a good time at the Lego playground.

Ella enjoyed the puppet show of The Three Little Pigs.

Jake & Ella driving the Lego boat.

They had to pull on the cord to lift up the hot air balloon.

 A Lego Mariachi Band! We are SO excited to come home next week & eat Mexican food!

This is Gadfield Elm. The oldest standing LDS church building.

Wilford Woodruff did a lot of missionary work in England & especially at Gadfield Elm. This board showed many of his journal entries. It was amazing to read about his experiences.

The land surrounding Gadfield Elm is gorgeous. Many church camp outs happen here.

Roxy & I traveled around London & saw everything you possibly could. So here are some highlights of our adventure. We went to the famous Abbey Road & walked the crosswalk like The Beatles.

We made a pit stop to see where Harry Potter catches the train to school.

Ripley's Believe It or Not is the craziest place to see. I almost weighed as much as the heaviest man!

The tallest man was seriously a GIANT!

I took Roxy to see The Crown Jewels. I can never get enough of this place! We went through it 3 times, the Beefeater {tower guard} ended up giving us a personal tour. It was AMAZING!
