Day 17!

We had another great day today. We are hanging out with my sister-n-law and her husband. The kids are enjoying hanging out with their cousins. i was a bit worried about the different sleeping arrangements last night and being in a different house, but they all did great!

The kids slept in today until 8. That was a first since we have been here. We headed in to the town, (we are in the north of London now) and took the kids to the big park here. It was beautiful when we left the house. The sun was shining and I was a little warm. The walk took us about a half an hour. As we were walking, we saw a grey cloud in the distance. We no sooner got to the play ground, before the sky opened. We ended up having a picnic under one of the play stations, and as quickly as the storm came, it was gone. It did cool off a bit though. I am amazed with this country's weather. One minute you are hot, the next freezing.

We spent 3 hours at the park, walked around the shops and then headed back home. Alex then tagged along to Ben's last swimming lesson. I hung out at the house with Tom, Callum and Liam. The kids were exhausted and went to bed great for us. Sarah and I then snuck out, thanks to Andy who stayed home. We went to IKEA. It is the first time that I have ever been there and not bought anything. We had a great time walking around though. This is only the second time (the first being when my in-law took the kids to the park for an hour the other day) I have been away from my kiddos since we have been here. It was a much needed break.

Not sure what we are going to do tomorrow. It all depends on the weather. it is supposed to rain, but hopefully, it will miss us!!!
