Sightseeing in FROZEN England!

After a week in Tenerife - we returned to a FREEZING - UK!!! The days in the warmth and sunshine were now only in our memories!!!
We were lucky enough to have Greg's girlfriend Sara come and join us for a week. I was greatful since I was the only FEMALE in the house for over a week and I needed to have some more ESTROGEN in the house to counter act all the TESTOSTERONE circling about!!

One of the places Greg & Sara (and their driver Ed) visited was Brimham Rocks. Brimham Rocks is a unique collection of eroded rock covering an area of about 50 acres, in the care of the National Trust. We are lucky enough to have this located just up the hill from our village of Summerbridge.

If you look closely you can see the drizzle FROZEN to the tree!

I love this photo!

We thoroughly enjoyed having you here with us! Our adventures to London, riding the train to "King's Cross" and the underground, seeing Spam-a-lot on the West End, walking through the walled city of York and going to the street market in Skipton! Not to mention our nights playing "Rock Band" and "Sing Star"!!!

Thank you for coming and sharing your adventures with us!!! We miss you!

Feliz Navidad - that's how they say it in SPAIN!!!

We were lucky enough this year to spend Christmas in Tenerife (Cannary Islands)!

We were minus Brittany, Hillary & Joshua this year and we missed them dearly! Next year we are hoping to do a huge FaMIly Christmas trip when Brittany returns from her mission.

Here are some photos of our trip!

When we arrived on the 19th we were welcomed with "ENGLAND" weather. Rain and wind and NO sunshine in sight!!! At least it was WARM rain!!

Here is the view from the balcomy of our room - a beautiful view no matter what the weather!

On our way to our hotel we were all hungry - we saw something familiar and multi-lingual!

McDONALDS!!!

Jeremey posing with his Monopoly winning cup!! We won a Big Mac and Small Drink!!! Yippee!!

We even had a "towel swan" on our bed!!!

Greg and Jeremey exhausted from the 4 1/2 hour flight! Ed pondering if he should go take a nap too! (and he did!)

Our Hotel was the Pearly Grey (Pearla Greis in spanish)

View from our front door - the grocery store Ed and Jeremey bought all of their candy from was right a crossed the street!!!! It was even open until 11pm for the late night snackers!!

Some miscellaneous photos of palm trees and the ocean. Can you feel the tropical breeze!!! If I close my eyes I can!!! This is my idea of relaxation!!

Another view of the Atlantic Ocean from our hotel.

My Ed and the Papa!!! Ready for some R & R!!!

This was just day ONE of our trip!!! I will post more photos of the daily events we took part in! We had a great time and the weather got better, then worse, then better! Everyday was a new suprise - just like England!

4th and SPOILED!!!

Jeremey is our 4th child and is living with us over here in England... He has been back in Montana for the last 2 weeks visiting. This was a birthday gift and YES, he is SPOILED!!!

Britney & Jeremey

This is the reason he wanted to go back to Montana for his birthday and what a gift she is!!! They attended MORP at CMR High with 2 other couples - just like "old times"!!!!

A huge "THANK YOU" to Monica and the Martell family for taking such good care of Jeremey while he was in Great Falls!!! I'm sure this won't be the last time he will make the trip back for "old times" sake!!!! Now that he has a J-O-B he can save up to purchase the NEXT ticket!!! :0)

We love you Jeremey and are sooo proud of the young man you are growing up to be!!!
