Stonehenge/Cornwall - October 2014

For Nathan's half-term break, we decided to get out of the city and finally see some more of England.  A co-worker of Chris' recently retired and now runs a cute little farm in Cornwall.  They have six cottages that they rent out and some farm animals that guests are welcome to help feed.  We thought the boys would love it, so we rented a car and drove the 4 hours to Cornwall, stopping to see Stonehenge on the way.  It turned out to be a great holiday (maybe one of my favorite trips so far).  And, I was very impressed with Chris' driving skills.  This was the first time he has driven in England and he quickly adjusted to driving on the right-hand side of the car and the left-hand side of the road.  He even did really well with the narrow country roads (well, except the time we got stuck in the mud and had to have a nice farmer help us get out).

This was right before we got stuck in the mud :)

This is a 2-way country road!

Feeding the pigs. 

And, the chickens.

He liked feeding the goats the best though.

  

Celebrating Nathan's Fourth Birthday At Legoland

Nathan decided that he wanted to go to Legoland with his best friends to celebrate his birthday this year.  I, of course, was fine with that, as it meant that I did not have to plan a birthday party :)  Unfortunately, one of his friends was out of town for his birthday.  There was no way we were going without Brice, so we waited for him to get back from his trip (and get over his jet lag).  And, with the Three Amigos together again, we made the trip out to Windsor for Nathan's final birthday celebration this past weekend. We all had a great time, especially the birthday boy!!

The roller coaster!  Nathan had been talking about going on the roller coaster for months and it did not disappoint!  He loved it!

We braved the water rides, but not without the appropriate gear :)
