Jubilee

Dan was lucky enough to have the Jubilee weekend off. So, instead of just hanging around Lincoln, we decided to join in the festivities in London. Elder Howe (Tucker) a missionary who served in Lincoln for ages also happened to be in London that weekend with his family, so we had the chance to catch up with those guys for a day which was great!

 Tucker and his family wanted to check out Tower Bridge so we had a nice stroll across.

 One of many terrible family shots.

 Mackenzie, Tucker, Dan and Amy.

 Chilling out in South Kensington.

 The Kensington Crêperie bellissimo!

 Amy getting ready for waving her flags at the queen.

 Public transport was a little more crowded than usual!

 So was the south bank and some people got a bit desperate.

 Apparently the queen was in white... it certainly looked like her. But then again it just may have been a card board cut out.

 Another great family shot.

We had a lovely day waving out flags, watching the boats and getting into the spirit of things, then the rain came and the temperature seemed to drop about 10 degree in minutes. Luckily we'd seen most of the precession by that point. We were highly impress by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra singers who just kept on going and going despite the downpour and freezing conditions.

 Getting back didn't turn out to easy either all the rail stations were closed due to over crowding where we were so we had to bus it back across London. Amy was absolute gone.

 We spent our last day in London at the Science Museum. My Grandpa used to fly one of these babies in the  second world war.

 Amy was really taken by Amy Johnson's aeroplane Jason. She loved the story about her solo flight to Australia and all the difficulties along the way. But she really liked that the plane had lots of "A's" under its wings.

 We had fun playing around with all the cool experiments.

 We spent the rest of the afternoon at the Serpentine Gallery and in Hyde Park. There was an exhibition by Hans-Peter Feldman which was fun. It made we want to make collections of random things, I particularly like his collection of seascapes.

The girls had a lovely weekend and were so well behaved despite being dragged round London.
