Playing football with Parliament

Everyday is passing by

faster

and

faster.

Seriously, this week flew by like the

Jamaican bobsled team.

May 19

Hey Hey Parliament.

Yo place is niceeee.

You have some top of the line security too.

MaCall has had a

pocket knife

in her bag everywhere she's been,

and no one has cared yet.

Glad you're always looking out for our safety.

Here's MaCall and I 

with one of your pleasant security guards.

 

 Holla Holla Big Ben :)

You're even cuter in person!

I think this is my favorite picture of us.

I'll be back later to say hello.
I like this area of London too much
to stay away.
Plus, I like the name Ben :)

Next it was off to Camden Market!

I think I'm still partial to the softer

Portobello Road...grape,

(yes, another Parent Trap moment)

but it was still an awesome day.

First,

we took the tube-

Always an adventure.

Plus now I'm on the lookout for celebrities.

I will miss seeing

and hearing 

"Mind the Gap"

every time I get on the tube.

It's just so much kinder than,

"Watch out man.  
You're going to fall in the giant hole below."

Anyway,

once at Camden we decided it would be best

to look around and then 

get some yummy food.

Chinese for 3.50 was our answer.

And it was certainly delicious.

Here I am with Kate!

We did a lil' boot skoot and boogie down the street

and just look at what I found :)

 I was uber excited.

My big brother who I love dearly served his mission there

and now,

our family gets to go there in August.

Word G-Money.

We did some lookin around and

listened to the 

funny,

dodgy blokes

call us and every woman who walked by 

a beautiful princess.

This one guy was heavily pushing a tank top 

with an owl on it.

Finally I just said,

"I'm scared of owls."

That was the end of that conversation :) 

 

The next conversation was all about

Crepes.

Mmmm.

I got one with fresh strawberries,

white chocolate

and nutella. 

It was simply heavenly.

 

 Madeleine's was delightful too!

Hers had apples, cinnamon and white chocolate in it.

 

But the night time was when it all got realll exciting.
After finishing up a paper for my history class
I booked it to the nearest pub,
The Champion,
with Madeleine and Romm, 
to try to watch the big
Champions League Final
football game of 

Bayern Munich

vs.
Chelsea. 
However, this is me standing outside a different pub.
Every place was packed!
Should've known better.

 I still loved even just witnessing all the happenings at the pub
for such a big game.
So much fun! 
No worries,
still watched Chelsea pull out a win
back at the Centre in our lovely servery. 

Here's Romm and I.
It was a pretty stressful game to watch.
Overtime and a penalty shoot-out.
Everything went down.

 
I wasn't really sure who to root for.
I'm more of a Manchester United fan 
but I mean Chelsea is an England team.
Bayern would've had it in the bag
except Robben missed his penalty kick earlier on. 

Either way, 
I love football.
:)

Plus after the game,

we watched...

Megamind.

Solid night at the schoolhouse 
 I would say.
 
 May 20
I love my ward here.
I really, really do. 

Today we had five kids.
That's the most we've ever had!
I was so excited and feeling just jammy.
We just played
and talked about how much we love animals.

Here we are coloring :)

 Tomorrow, it's off to Scotland!
Lochness Monster...
I hope to see you there. 
We'll be gone on an adventure
for the whole week.
We get to go to York, Ambelside, Edinburgh and even 

Preston

to see the temple there.

I simply cannot wait :)
