Vikings Day at Woolton Primary School

It was Vikings Day at our school. Katie and I just borrowed some random material from a teacher and did the best we could. The kids all told us we were poor vikings since we weren't all fancy with jewelry and what not..oh well! I think we looked more like peasants. The kids were absolutely precious!!!

I go to Rome, Florence, and Barcelona this Friday, so there won't be any new posts up until after the 6th or 7th! Have a fabulous two weeks and a wonderful 4th of July. Grandma, I am fully expecting to see pictures of you all decked out in red, white, and blue.


Katie and I with a group of little vikings. We all had our battle faces on!


Annie and Charlotte. They are so precious!


This is little ANNA ROWE!!!! She has a twin and older brother. We think we're all related!


Keith, Megan, Olivia, Cieron, and Lauren. They are making paper mache viking helmets. Who knew that the horns on the helmets were a myth. How disappointing!


Ciera!!! She is adorable!


Morgan, me, and Rebecca.


Courtney, me, Katie, and Jackie.


Emma! She is such a doll!! I love this little girl. She brings in rocks for show and tell allll the time!! haha She is hilarious!

Dublin (continued)

Here are just a few more of us in Dublin!

Suzy, me, Katie, Mary Beth!

Some genius decided to paint the Dublin Castle. BLEH.


This was a street man pretending to be a statue. Right after this picture was taken, I put some coins in his bucket and he moved and screamed at me to scare me. I was terrified and everyone on the street was laughing. It was amazing!!


Practicing one of my sweeeeeeet dance moves!!!!

Howth, Ireland

We went to Howth (you say it Hoit) for the day on Saturday. It was super gloomy out, but still a good time! It was more of the country on the Irish Sea!

We watched the tide come in. It came so quickly and we watch the water come up to where we had just been walking.


We saw about 6 seals and they were so cute!!!!!


Awwwwwww just look at their little heads!!


Us hanging out with the seals!!!! Such a cute picture!


Irish Sea and the lighthouse..sooo pretty!!!


Hanging out on the docks!


Super windy!!!!

Dublin, Ireland

All is does is rain. Everywhere we go. But that doesn't stop us! Here are some pictures of Dublin. Katie has more that I will put up later.

Trinity College.

In the back of Dublin City Hall. And Katie trying to put her arm around Mary Beth mid picture!


Dublin Castle.


Mary Beth and I looking gorgeous as always! ;)


Suzy and I dancing together all night long. And some random guy who thinks he's cool, I guess! Suzy and I made up dances to the songs and got strange looks from the locals..oh well.


Suzy once again trying on hats to be a true leprechaun!


So, the headmaster at my school told us that his favorite bar was O'Donoghues. We didn't exactly go to it because it seemed as if it was for "older" people (sorry, everyone who is old) but we did pose for a picture!


This is a statue of some woman who was murdered. That is all I know, but i saw a resemblance so I had to take a picture with her.


Again, acting like a statue!! We are crazy and this is what we do for fun!


This bar has colorful photos all over the windows..like Andy Warhol style and i LOVED IT!!!


Christ Church Cathedral


Again with the statues. Look at my face, look at the statues face...IDENTICAL!!! (Mary Beth is the horse)


The four of us and our new friends from Iowa. They happened to be staying in our room in our hostel! We also met people there from Michigan and Colorado.

:)

hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahaha

AMSTERDAM!!!

There wasn't a whole lot of sight seeing to do in Amsterdam. Our flight got delayed Thursday so it was really really late by the time we got in so we only had a day to really do anything. Which was more than enough time because there was nothing to do...We still managed to have a good time. our professor met the 5 of us there so we got to hang out with him the whole entire time. So that was cool, because he is awesome!

Anne Frank's house. We didn't get to go in because no one else wanted to because the line was super super long. I wish we would have though!


Right outside of Anne Frank's house.


Well, we have A LOT of waiting and free time on our hands. Traveling consists of a lot of waiting and standing in lines. So we play games ALL THE TME. Never have I ever, alphabet games, and my infamous "Question Game!!!" A select few of you know and love this game :) Anyways, we were playing with Dr. P and the questions was "If you could be ANY animal, what would be and why?" Well, Dr. P chose a hippo. The next thing we know, there is this exhibit of these pictures of animals on the street. There were like 75 pictures so we all took pictures with our animals! Mine is on Katie's camera, so I don't have it yet. Can you guess what I chose???????????????


Suzy and I being goofy.


One of my really really really really really really really cool friends gave me this music. So, this was our theme song for the weekend!


Elizabeth and I. I don't know why my head is so small.


The 5 of us!!! Jeff, Suzy, Katie, Elizabeth, and me!!


Elizabeth and I!

PARIS IS MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to move to Paris. It was gorgeous and I loved it and it was amazing and I'm going back soon. I thought about getting engaged in the Eif, but then I remembered that Tom Cruise asked Nicole to marry him up there and decided against that. He's pretty crazy. Plus there were people making out everywhere and it made me puke a little bit. Anyways, we didn't get to see a whole lot because we were there for a very short time, but it was still wonderful!! Please enjoy these very random picutres! As you will notice, we spent a lot of our time at the Eif.


I.M. Pei is my life!! So is the Louvre.


Big Ben wannabee.


Notre Dame.


Evening view from the Eif.


Guess where we got our bags!!!!!


Arc de Triomphe.


Chillin out by my buddy, Eif.


Isn't he GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh yes, That is me doing a handstand!!!! And Suzy is behind me on the left TRYING to do a handstand. We hung out and had a picnic dinner on the grass for like 6 hours. It was fabulous.


We just loved the Light Show! It was nice and sparkley!!


In the Louvre next to a fish exhibit. Thise are the fish in front of us, and we are all making fish faces. How old are we??


I don't know, I think we are just looking cute!!!


Okay, so we went on this bus tour, and there were headphone where you could select your language and listen to tons of facts about Paris as we drove along. Well, I was the only one of us who was even interested so I was listening like the whole time. But there was this woman in front of us who was WAY interested, so this is the two of us, pressing on our ears, learning together.


On top of the Eif before it got dark! With Elizabeth!


More Eif pictures. Katie and I!!


Eif and I. :)
Romance was in the air....also, this was Katies half birthday. She's a big 2-0-and-a-half! so Suzy is holding up a 2, and I am holding up a one. Yes, we are dorks.
