Well after we visited Grandma and Grandpa we headed to London!!
Windsor Castle was our first stop!! We went there on the recommendation of some friends in our ward. We are so glad we did. It was beautiful! The Queen was in residence!! We wish we could have seen her, or her son, or even grandsons!!!
We did see the changing of the guards and many more great things there!
Then we were off to the heart of the city! Dallon and Ally were a little nervous about their first ride on the Underground!!
But soon got the hang of it and realized how fast we could get around the busy city!!
We spent the first full day in London sight seeing... Tower Bridge....
Tower of London, where we saw the Crown Jewels, King Henry the VII's be heading tool, and the spot where two of them happened, some Knights armor and we even received our own be heading!!
Kind of funny Huh??
This is St Paul's Cathedral...We had no idea what we were in for when we went inside!! It was a beautiful cathedral with amazing acoustics inside. It was where Princess Diana and Prince Charles were married. They don't let you take pictures inside a lot of the buildings and churches. They asked us if we wanted to make the ascent to the Whispering Gallery. It was a breathtaking view of the church below. Then a lady said you better go hurry to the Stone Gallery it is going to close soon. We thought we were going to be inside! This is what we saw at the topan amazing view of London....
The plaza below and
About 500 people crammed into the smallest space! The rails around wouldn't have held Mylee in! I was freaking out because all Mylee wanted to do was get down and go find her bottle! Crazy me I left it in the stroller 259 steps below us!! There was no order to the masses of people, I just had to push my way around to the door and leave with a screaming baby. Luckily Kevin got some good view pictures!!
We took a boat ride on the River Thames from the London Bridge to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben
Next we hopped on the London Eye to get the best view of the City. It was amazing and we thought the kids would really enjoy it. Well, Dallon and Mylee thought it was fun by Ally our worry wart just knew we were going to die or the ride was going to break and our little pod would roll off into the river!!
A lot of the "Pods" were full of people but when we got in ours only about 5 other people got in! We could walk all around and see the great views of the city below!!
The view from the London Eye with the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben in the back ground.
And that was only our first day in London!!

The Yeagers take on London! Well, welcome back to your blog! Looks like lots of fun. I think my favorite thing is Kevin's facial expression in the picture where they put their faces through the cartoon image.
