During the 3 day weekend for Thanksgiving, we decided to take one last trip down to London before we make the big move across the pond in a week!100_0775100_0777edit

Buckingham Palace
We went to see the famous “Changing of the Guard,”
but unfortunately they weren’t doing it because of some issue…grrr!

We happened upon the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland…
it was a German-run carnival in the middle of the park.
Once the boys saw it, there was no turning back!
Here we are getting them their first cotton candy.100_0822
Can you see the enjoyment on their faces? 
Don’t think they’ll be having the ‘candy floss’ again any time soon! 100_0907
Last sunset by the London Eye before we head home to our hotel for the night and back to Yorkshire the next morning.
Bye for a while London!  Thanks for showing us a good time.
We will be back again some day…

Love that you got to go hang out in London for the weekend. I want to go back. Definitely did not get enough time in England.

wow, great pictures, are you feeling sad about leaving? just looking at these few pictures i can imagine it's going to be hard to come back to the boring old states. :)
