The Kids' Table Rocks!

Oh happy day! Oh joy of joys!

My cousins came to London to visit me and FOR ONCE (!) someone else got disciplined for being naughty!

Of course, I still put in the requisite amount of naughty behavior myself but it is so much more fun when there are fellow conspirators....

Kate and Sarah took the train and met us at Hampton Court Palace.

Personally, I found the hard landscaping (i.e. gravel) much more interesting than the architecture, furnishings, history or gardens.

Trixie thought the guidebook tasted nice.

Afterwards, we enjoyed a pub lunch of fish, chips and lime and soda. Sarah and I discovered that we both love ketchup (which I call 'tomato sauce'). Yes, there was a tussle for it but then, my dad took the bottle, said loudly "share" and gave us each a little bit on our plate. I gotta admit that I am not really liking this new "share" concept at all....

We did lots of sightseeing around London while Mourad, Kate, Sarah and Adam were here but there seemed to be a universal ending to every day.
I can't wait to get on the big airplane in September. Adam has even promised a Brooklyn jacuzzi!
