Okay…our kitchen was finished this weekend and I finally feel like I’m getting my life and my home back together…so no more excuses for not writing

England….continued….

One of our favorite things we did was the falconry experience at Leed’s Castle.  Our falconry guide, Reece, was awesome.  It just so happened that we arrived on a day they had a rare and crazy thunderstorm.  I told Terence before we went “As long as I get to see the owl I am good!”  So we started out with the owl and I am so glad we did because when it started to downpour I sat out for the falcon….eeek!

Connor and cousin Ethan had a good time.  I just love that we have family to visit in such fun places like this…it makes everything so much more FUN!

Leed’s Castle is so pretty.  I could totally live here!  Ha ha!

There just happened to be a new baby owl there named Stella and we got to feed her.  Soooo cute!  I think he said within a few weeks she would double in size.  Her feathers were so soft too.

Now this is a wine cellar!

Here is a tour of the castle.  It’s not everything…you’ll just have to go visit someday, but it’s pretty neat.  Looking back I am ashamed at the lack of selfies I didn’t take with people.  I mean seriously Becky!!!

These kiddos in the water….love it!

Next up Germany…of course no trip to England would be complete without a Costa coffee!  Thank you Adrianne, Graham, and family for having us we love you so much!
