Happy 4th of July USA!

It's our first fourth of July out of the country and I'm feeling a bit more patriotic than usual.  Tyler and I were out and about in our red, white and blue today.  A small part of me felt a little strange celebrating the day that our country liberated itself from the country we are living in, but this whole experience has made me appreciate the US so much more so we are showing our home country pride!  Our babysitter is on vacation so this is is the first week in a while that I've had all week with Tyler in London.  I'm still amazed that we can find new things to do on any given day - there is just SO much to do with kids here.   Monday we explored a new part of the heath, Tuesday we spent all day at the Baptist Church in music and dance class (and it was all free - love those Baptists!), Wednesday we went on a new running route in the Heath and Thursday we bought our annual pass to the London Zoo!  Now JJ and I are looking forward to listening to Bon Jovi in Hyde Park tomorrow night and enjoying what looks to be another sunny beautiful weekend in London.  We are really getting lucky with weather lately!  Happy 4th of July!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Loving the wide open space in the Heath.  Tyler was so excited to be out of the stroller he just took off running in the wide open space with his snacks in hand.

Look how beautiful this is!  I love the old bridge in the background.

Feeding the ducks and swans in the Heath.

Most of the animals were asleep at the zoo but the penguins were super active.  Tyler loved it!

Having the best time ever on the carousel.
