A Lovely Weekend

Yay me! I think I figured out the blog settings. I hope you all who are using IE now see this blog without the discontinuity.

We had a wonderful weekend here in the Northwest of England--if you don't count all the rain Sunday (more on that). Friday we awoke to what sounded like a Peacock in the garden. We thought surely we were wrong. But here she is in all her glory: Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting The peahen spent two days with us before moving on to somewhere. The girls sat in the window and watched her for hours.

Saturday, we went to the Women's British Open at the Royal Lytham course. It was a fun day. Saw some decent golf, but we left before the leaders went out due to the girls nap time (plus they don't quite understand how to be very quiet while the golfers are putting, etc. Photos were not allowed during the actual golfing and the crowds were fairly large, so we didn't get any shots of Michelle Wie golfing. But we will be able to say we saw her in her first British Open at the ripe old age of 16. She didn't have the best game that day, but she was still amazing to watch. DD3 did get in on the action at the kids golf course. Here she is in action: Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting She thought she was something else.


Sunday we had a church BBQ. The boast Sunday morning was that we have never had it rain on our BBQs at church. Here are the girls listening to the entertainment: Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting The are obviously demonstrating how not to use the umbrella. *sigh* We got very wet, but had a good time just the same. We were, however, very glad we went to the golf on Saturday, because watching the leaders come in Sunday afternoon on telly, they looked pretty miserable.

Your girls are so cute. They seemed to be really enjoying themselves. The peacock pic is great. I am glad overall you had fun as well with the rain.
