Preparing for our last days in beautiful Hope Valley
It has been an experience I wouldn't trade. As Amelia Earhart said, "The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship."

Scotland was lovely! Royal mile leads up to the castle; Sir Walter Scott Monument; the girls; Greyfriars Bobby Pub with famous dog sculpture.

Half-term Break and updates about school year!
Yeah! It's half-term break! We get a whole week off, from school! This is Laura Ann. Our family is going up to Edinburgh, Scotland tomorrow for two days and nights. At school, we're working very hard! I have a new teacher called Mrs. Francis, and she's very nice! We had a Cross Country Running Event at the local Middle and High School about a month ago. We ran in age groups also in boys and girls. It was a running event against about 12 other schools. We haven't got the results back yet, but I think I might've came in the top 25! We're going to have another Christmas play this year, but we don't know what it's going to be about yet! So, over all, we're pretty busy. By the way, check out the new question that I came up with. It will be easy for some! I'm excited, because it's my birthday in less than a month! I'm turning 11! Katie and I are going to have a joint party, since her birthday is about 2 weeks after mine. It's going to be a swimming party at our local indoor pool. We're going to have the 'Aqua Run' which is like a huge bouncy castle on water. I can't wait to go to Scotland tomorrow! Well, I have got to go! Bye!

Summer holiday
We soooo enjoyed the warm weather, delicious foods and the time spent with family and friends this past month. It's hard to imagine that we've been here a year.
It was a learning process the first year-how to do things we take for granted in our native country. Going back home to the States I can't help to compare and contrast the differences. Thanks for checking this blog... I'll try to update it occassionally with photos and bits of information.

My Bucket List in England... Stonehenge
After living here for nearly a year, I have finally visited Stonehenge. The heaviest stone weighs 44 tons. Some of the stones were carried from Wales. Amazing for being nearly 5,000 year old!

Monkey Forest, Stoke-on-Trent...
It took driving 80 minutes to go 40 miles, through the most beautiful countryside to get to this FANTASTIC Monkey Forest! There are 140 monkies here to freely roam. We saw a two day old monkey clinging to it's mom up in the trees, but the fun one to watch was the 5 week old monkey that was about 10 feet from us. Overall, we were close to about forty monkies!
