In between the downpours, Jeryn gave her balance bike a little ride...

The girls tried on their Halloween costumes today, and won't take them off. They even wore them around town.
Jeryn drew a lovely picture of the two of them all dressed up...
Wonderful October Day in Chester
The weather has been unseasonably warm here lately (mid 60's). The girls and I went down to the City Centre to see the Chester Marathon this morning...

Trip 10: Hilbre Island
We had a short day trip to Hilbre Island today.
Mara walked the entire way: two miles to the island, and two miles back. It wasn't really walking though, because she splashed in every puddle along the way.
Oh, and it is pronounced "Hill-bur". Silly English spelling. Also, don't go at high tide, you'll get trapped for 6-8 hours!

Edinburgh
We took a long weekend in Edinburgh. Experienced all things Scottish...bagpipes, Scotch, St. Andrews, funny accents, and wonderful people.
There are many difficult and frustrating things about living in a foreign country...meeting all new friends, not knowing the customs, no peanut butter or dill pickles, banking, and being half a world from family.
The positives are wonderful though...lots of new learning experiences, tremendous opportunities for travel, becoming comfortable as a tourist, and reliying even more on each other as an immediate family.
Our girls are becoming good travellers and pretty comfortable going just about anywhere. We probably walked about five miles today, and Jeryn handled it like a champ. Probably much better than I did to be honest:). Mara made it most of the way without being carried. Not bad for being almost 3.
We miss you friends and family. Here are a few picture highlights from our trip.

Trip 8: London
Buckingham Palace is So Funny...at least if you are a toddler.
Jeryn and Mara got their first trip to London this weekend. We saw some dinosaurs, butterflies, and whales at the Natural Museum of History and Science.
We also found a Chipotle, and took a stroll by the Buckingham Palace before it started to "chuck down" on us as the English say.
