Love it :D You will understand more when you see pictures of the haircut I gave Cody. Hahaha. Cody calls it a HAIR HACK!!!!!!!!!
Outside the home where Shakesphere was born. They had people dressed up and doing little skits from his plays outside in the gardens

Goofing off :)


Sheldon sitting across from us on the train


Ok we are so far behind on this blog I am just going to pick and choose some pictures to put up. Here we were on the train from York going to Stratford I think...and Cody fell asleep so I took some pictures :)

Ireland


You can see how windy it is in these pictures :)








Carrick-a-rede bridge. It was 100 ft. off the water and we crossed it when there were about 70 mp/h winds. haha. I screamed all the way across but managed to contain myself on the way back. haha. I even looked straight down. So brave =)


The distance he could have fallen...why so serious!?¿ haha


Cody a foot away from falling to his death. (look ma - no hands!)

Cody ran all the way up there and is standing on the top. haha

Cody with a smile =)












This is the castle of....i dont know. Haha. Cody named it. A queen lived in it until the kitchen fell off the cliff and into the water...after that...i guess it just wasnt considered safe enough :)





A stop on the Giants Causeway tour. Bushmills Whisky Distillery. haha




Ok so...this is actually where they had school! Way back when... during a war I think... these were little caves dug into the mountain on the side of the road!







At a cute little fishing town somewhere between Belfast (Ireland) and County Antrim....(the giants causeway)

It was raining out... I dont just wear my hood up for fun, I swear!

hehe. at some castle. i like codys eyes in this one!

Cody wanted me to put this one up because i am in it. i dont really think its necessary but whatever

Some of the people we met with for Sunday morning meeting. From left to right: Sheldon, Joe, Michael, Katie, Joan, Robin and Cody. Michael and Katie drove us around pretty much all day Sunday, and Robin and Katie (sisters) had us over for lunch. Joe was another person they had over. They were all really super nice :) oh yeah...nice runners with dress pants hey?! :D

¨The Needle¨ in Dublin. Not sure what they actually call it!

A pretty tree in Dublin

Kilkenny Castle. We didn´t pay to go in...we were too cheap. Sheldon was like...you guys are SO CHEAP! haha. The other day he said that when we´re showing people our pictures we can be like this is such and such a castle...we didn´t go inside...this is the tower of whatever...yeah we didn´t go in...and this abbey? oh guess what..we didn´t go in! haha. But the locals even said it wasn´t worth it to go in.

On the ferry over to the Republic of Ireland. Which if you didnt know is NOT Ireland. Dont ever mix the two up...or else! Haha. Its like thinking that Canada is part of the USA...or New Zealand being a part of Australia...you get my drift :)

Sunset shot in Whitbey quite pretty.
The Abbey right beside our youth hostel in Whitbey.

This is what a Best Western looks like in England.


St Michaels mount near Penzance, totally self sustaining island at one time.

Beautiful church, one of many.

The Edinburgh castle home to the stone of destiny and the crown jewels.

Rope bridge 100 metres above the ocean, took some courage to cross in windy conditions.

Cody posing for the photo before running so he wouldnt get hit with the wave.

the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland, much fun exploring even if it was cold and rainy.











Fishguard

Sheldon should be putting up pictures from his camera of him. I barely have any of him on my camera! I take all of his on his camera!




Views from the top




taking a break after a mile of uphill. the hill was 1:4 which means that every 4 ft it went up a ft. we all almost died.

Crazy sheep farmer. Well, he looks crazy!




haha! cute huh? =)




another welsh sign







I really wish i knew how to rotate these pictures. Ugh.



Street signs we had to follow on the bike ride. Welsh anyone? =)



Bike trail...


Our key for the Hamilton backpackers. Haha

Scenery from the bike trip. Newport.


We came home from exploring Fishguard one day to find this! We were walking back to the hostel and we saw the fire trucks go by...Cody was like "wouldn't that be funny if it was going to our hostel?"...and then we turned the corner and they were parked in front of the hostel! When we got there though it was fine because it was the neighbours dryer or washing machine that caught on fire that was caught in time before it burnt the place down!


One of my favorite pictures


Just a cute little place











Views from close to the park











The order here is a little messed up...this was the same day at the park as before. My jump.



At a church in Newport. Cody couldn't figure out how to work the Pump Organ...but it made a good picture! And we found a piano he could play in that church as well :)



On our way to pick up the bikes. Cody really wanted me to put this one up. Haha.




isn't this the best toilet ever?


Cody and the ice cream cow - i have a picture like this too but i look really silly =)





The little church


Just some places around town

One of the nicest Hostels we've stayed at. The guy was super friendly and it was all very clean. And we pretty much had the whole house to ourselves!

Downtown Fishguard...or maybe this is Newport where we rented bikes for the day..hmmm. My pictures are all in the wrong order. Hopefully I can change that when I get home
...and....my attempt.



Sheldons attempt! :)

Here we are having fun at a park in Fishguard. Cody was doing his acrobatic thing on the goalpost.
