Last Full Day in London

Above is Harry. We are staying with a lovely family, the parents and siblings of Rebecca of Miss Margrit’s in Nicaragua. We are having such a great time with them and appreciate their generous hospitality so much. Harry and Lily are Rebecca’s nephew and niece, 2 and 11 months, and the kids are having such a wonderful time playing with them when we are here. Above was some of the tom-foolery from this morning. 

The rest is the Enchanted Castle of Kensington Palace which is now dedicated to telling the partial stories of 7 princesses that lived there at one time. It is very contemporary and interactive. Set up as a mystery. The kids ate it up and we enjoyed it as well. Not your typical castle tour…it was fabulous!
