Wednesday and Thursday in England

Wednesday morning we took a quick trip to Knaresborough while Wes was at preschool. Lucky for us, it was market day! It was fun to looks through all the food and goods, walk along the river, and walk through the castle grounds. Such a pretty city! We even got a classic phone booth photo too.

 Liz showed me this fabulous picture taking spot.

 We even saw this interesting lady who brought her pet ravens to the park and was dressed up in some medieval get-up.
 Chase was a trooper the whole week, dealing with lots of car trips, missed naps, and irregular feedings. What a cutie! 
We picked up Wes, and met Keyton at Darley Mill. Delicious food, fun atmosphere, great shopping, and yummy cheesecake! I also got to go to Wes and Jarom's swimming lessons, and watch Emeline's dive lesson too. 

Thursday morning we dropped by the base and Liz pointed out the building Keyton works in. We quickly went to Harrogate again so I could pick up some treats and treasures to take home to the kids (luxury chocolate from Hotel Chocolat, British souvenirs from the tourist office, biscuits and chocolates from Farrah's, delicious cinnamon rolls for our morning snack, and from Sugar Therapy, treats to share with Keyton that night).  

Thursday afternoon was Emeline's swimming gala! 17 school in the are participated, it was huge and so fun to see her compete. Emeline is there in the middle, with a USA swim cap. 
 It was so fun to be there to see Emeline race, and play with Chase too!
