Today we all headed to Cambridge (Kevin too) to show the girls the colleges and to go punting on the Cam. Interestingly enough we had to take two cars to take along all our our guests...a little precursor of what things will be like when Baby Boy Dea comes along and we have guests. Since we had figured out where to go when mom and dad where her in February, it was a little easier to get the girls around the city. We went to a Park and Ride station just outside of Cambridge which was great because you can park a little easier and its a quick bus ride into the city...dealing with parking in England is not a favorite activity of mine.
We got to enjoy their first fish and chips at the Anchor pub located on the Cam next to the punting shop. As you can see, Addison is learning all sorts of new tricks. Auntie Crystal let her crawl on the table at home and now she's trying her new skill in new places. It was interesting going through the tour for the second time...it seems that each guide has their own take on legends and stories.
Kevin and I had to fill in the holes of some stories since we thought our first guide was a bit better, but this chap did end up redeeming himself by creating a little drama. He evidently got his poll stuck and the boat kept going without him. He got it free but then had to run along the brick wall and under a low tree to hop back on our punt....jolly good fun!After a long day we headed home and the girls got to witness some of the neighborhood fun that we have. The kids started up a cricket game along with water fight. Evidently our house is a perfect target for cricket balls and streaming water.
