A Visitor!!!

Nice view of a church in Warwick

 Our first visitor in England has officially arrived! My brother, Eric came on Thursday morning! Alissa, Broden, Parker and I left for the airport at 6:00am Thursday morning. Eric's airplane landed an hour early so he was waiting for us instead of us waiting for him, but that's ok!

So far Eric has been in bed every night by 7:30 or 8:) Tonight we are staying up and playing games though. I think he is all adjusted to the time. 

The kids were so excited for Uncle Eric to come! They were so willing to help clean and organize to have someone stay with us for 6 weeks. We set up the bunk bed in Broden's room and got some drawers to go under the bed. The office/craft room is all set up too so Eric can just work out of our home. Remi has still been going to school and Broden and Alissa have been suprisingly good when Eric is working. They understand they can't go in the craft room when Eric is working. All weekend they will ask if Eric is working if he is ever in the craft room using the computer. It's great that they are well enough behaved that it is working. Hopefully they keep it up.

Saturday morning we woke up and went to Warwick Castle. We left at 9:15 and were supposed to get there at 11:15, but after a huge detour we finally got there at 12:30. We spent the day at the castle and it was awesome. We saw all the towers, the princesses, the bird show and peacock gardens and some of the grounds outside the castle. What an amazing place. Still hard to believe that these buildings are 100's sometimes thousands of years old. One of Remi's friends came with us. She is also our next door neighbor and they have so much fun together.
