Last Days in the UK

I went to Elsie and Lillian's house and I ate there.  They cooked us am English roast for our going away.  It was delicious!  I liked playing in their room with them.  I really miss them.  It was a great dinner. They made is a card.  It said everything you can imagine.

On Guy Fawkes Day, we had a bonfire and threw a fake Guy Fawkes into a huge fire and watched him melt.  By the way, he wasn't real.  This was at Sam and Joes house, Brody and my friends.  We had a sleepover and got to do sparklers and fireworks. It was super fun!

We went to Billy Bob's for a last playdate before flying out with lots of friends including Lola, me, Evie, Charlie, Holly, Alyssa, Ava, and some others not in the picture.  Billy Bobs is known for its ice cream.  It has a playground and rope swings over hay bales.  

On the night before we left, we stayed in a hotel room and went to Noble Comb pub with some friends, like Holly, Elsie, Lillian, and Annie.  There was a little playground.

This is in the taxi on the way to the airport.  Can you see the suitcases behind us?  We were excited abut seeing all of our Texas family and friends, sad about leaving all of our English friends, and nervous about going to a new school.  But I love my school now.

Amsterdam

We had a surprise layover in Amsterdam on our way back from our holiday.  It was foggy and the plane couldn't take off.  So we got go explore Amsterdam.  

We saw Anne Frank's Diary.  It was in a different language so I couldn't read it.  We also toured her huose.  There was a secret bookshelf that was actually a door that went into the attic where she hid.

We went to the Van Gogh museum and there were a lot of paintings where he drew using lines.  My favorite one was one of him with a mustache but weren't supposed to take pictures on there so we don't have one of it.  But dad snuck this one.  

We went to an Ice Bar.  Inside we got frozen orange juice.  Everything was frozen, even the cup that we drank the orange juice out of.
