We had a warm Saturday... so we took advantage and spent the day in Cambridge. We went with our friends from North London that we have known since our BYU days. They have three girls the same ages as our kids so it was fun for all of us! He is an Oxford alum. so he could give us the inside scoop on University life in the UK.
Brooklyn and Marianne sitting on the branch of a weeping willow tree.
Me soaking up the sun... you can tell by my ultra white limbs that I certainly need it!
The girls enjoying an ice cream cone!
And the little ones enjoying their ice cream cones!
Not quite sure what this one is!
The students walking around in their robes. Evidently they have to wear them to take their final examinations... total bummer... as if taking finals wasn't bad enough in PJs. The hood color represents the college they're in and what they are studying... or something!
So the big activity in Cambridge is punting. It seems similar to the gondolas in Venice... but as our guide instructed us... it is very different. Anyone can rent a boat and give it a try... not recommended on a busy day however... not sure how many collisions we had with others or how many people we saw fall in! 
Our guide... somehow my friend, Allison, and I ended up in the seat looking up at this the whole time... and the guys and all the kids were behind us. (This one is for you, Kerry!)

You guys are making such cool memories while you are in London. I love to look at all the pictures of all the beautiful places you've been and all the fun things you have been doing as a family. You are SOOO lucky!
