We had such a great weekend! On Friday night, Chris' friend, Matt Clark, flew into town to spend the weekend with us. Nathan loved having him here! But, to be fair, Matt did bring goldfish and jelly beans with him, which is pretty much all you need to do buy Nathan's love :)
On Saturday morning, Chris, Casey, Matt, and I went to Horse Guard's Parade to watch Beach Volleyball (Round of 16). It was the best event we have been to yet!! We loved it! The energy was great! There was a DJ, lots of fun music, and even dancers in bikinis and board shorts to entertain the audience! It's also a really cool venue, because it is right in front of Buckingham Palace. We saw the Chinese women destroy the Russian women. Then, we saw the Brazilian men beat the German men - that was a better match than the women's match, but the Brazilian men still won pretty easily. Overall, it was a great morning!
Saturday night, we met up with our friend, Jeff, for Thai food in a pub near his flat (there is a thai restaurant that rents out the space in the back of the pub - the food was really good!). Pubs here are great - kids are welcome in them and in the summer, everyone spills out into the streets with their drinks to enjoy the weather. After dinner, Nathan had fun running around on the sidewalk outside the pub, while mom and dad got to enjoy some drinks :) We only stayed for a few drinks and then headed home to get Nathan in bed. Casey and Matt stayed out with Jeff though and apparently had quite the night, but I will let you ask them about that :)
Sunday, we headed over to Hyde Park to BT London Live (a big area with several large screens showing Olympics events, lots of food stands, and a stage with singers and bands performing between Olympic events). Nathan loved the music!
