Kids Eye View of London

I'm always surprised when I look through the eyes of my children. They astound me, make me laugh. I simply adore them. Here is a look at London through photographs the children have taken.


Patrick's Double Decker bus view of the red telephone box. The box was to become our life saver. We got separated in London and I was able to use the red box to call Kevin on his cell phone and meet up again!





Pat's view of the tower that holds Big Ben.

The kids and Kevin went on The Eye whilst Norman and I visited Westminster Abbey where we saw tombs of many great (or not so great) Queens and Kings including Queen Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scotts.

The Poets corner was extremely interesting with memorials to Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and many more.


Brandon took this photo outside the Tower of London. Infamous home to many a scandalous murder and beheading!

It is also the home to the crown jewels which Kevin insists are completely fake!


It was here that we also met our first and only Beefeater and we witnessed the guard changing outside the vault where the jewels are kept.










Caitlin took this photograph of Janette pointing out the sights of the English countryside through the English rain.






This was on our drive up to The Cotswolds and the Lake District.



We are on our third day in Edinburgh and it has rained everyday. Makes us feel at home!






The homes range from sprawling country estates to row housing.
