Okay, here's some England/Wales/Family pics

The Britishy Fam

So these are some of the pics of the Haymore clan. They are out of order, and I will try to caption them later.  This should satisfy you for awhile until I can figure out all the computery stuff.


More to come, of course!


Dana & Ellie met us at the airport




We picked up Toby & Brady from their britishy school.

They were pretty excited to see us.



Ellie's pretty cute, too.  


This is their awesomely, "posh" house. It even has a 2 car garage. (possibly 3 car, since James parks his car in a driveway next to it)  It even has a cool name.



Brady liked riding the train into London. He got to eat a peanut butter sandwich and wink at strangers. He also showed us his talent of crossing his eyes. Well done, my boy!

I found Dana this cool hat. I didn't realize that she's be wearing it in most of the pics so we can't see her face very well. Even in the pics in the house!
Toby really concentrated when he showed us his Guitar hero skills.  Ellie is just cute, so her pics will be sprinkled throughout the blog.



Dana was sooooo excited to get "real American Kraft Macaroni & Cheese"!!!



We gave Toby & Brady cool flying dragons with knights on them, for our early Christmas.


Ellie got a dancing tutu, and danced for us.





Ellie's morning was written all over her face...with marker, Nutella and yogurt.





We ate dinner at a little restaurant in Bath. We ate 'trench dinners', which turned out to be steak(or whatever the meat you chose was) served on a slice of bread or toast. Heck, mom used to give us that all the time! The dessert we chose was amazingly delicious, though. Treacle Tart with warm custard poured over the top. Treacle is used instead of corn syrup, like in a pecan pie, but it's rich & tasty like syrup or molasses. MMMMMmmmmm! I can't believe we didn't take a picture of the treacle tart, but I think we devoured it too fast.












Just hanging around the house.








Ellie's got some sweet moves when she plays guitar hero!





Riding the tube(subway). I had no idea Dan was taking this picture. I'm not sure about the lady, but if she did know she was using her britishy manners and not making a scene or even acting like she noticed.





Brady REALLY liked the giant Nutella & banana crepe he got on Portabello Road.














Ellie didn't remember being in snow before, so she was having fun.




Leeds Castle




Dana's looking very britishy.





James collects bottles of hot sauce.

  3. Verna, What an amazing trip you guys had!!! It is so fun to go through all these pictures and get to catch up on my cute cousin and her family. If I didn't want a girl I do now, Ellie is sooooooooo cute, I think she is the only one that even looks like Dana, she even has that beautiful olive skin. Although now that they are all Britishy she may turn out a little pasty, but still CUTE CUTE CUTE. Oh and you and Dan are cute too!!! Glad I could blog stalk you just a little.
