Day 4: Enjoying Sunday


Church in the morning

Jonathan lent some British hospitality in a fierce game with Madeline.

"Go over there, you stupid piece of plastic!"

The lunch was lovely and we had Roulard for dessert!

Enjoying "lollipops"

Gabrielle: My companions' inability at ping-pong (what the British refer to delicately as "table tennis") is hilarious. Granted, I did not attempt to compete with their ineptitude, but I have rarely seen such a badly played game. We had an enormous lunch with everyone and subsequently all three of us crashed on the couch for a three-hour nap. It was NOT my fault that Madeline and I stayed up till 3:30 AM... well, maybe... I'm still having a wonderful time and enjoyed the peaceful Day of Rest before our Week of Insanity Known as Mad Tourism!

Madeline: It was a quaint Sunday for us. Simply put, it was enjoyed as any Sunday should be, with family, naps, good food, walks, and rounded out with a hilarious movie (Easy Virtue, for those curious). I'm looking forward to tomorrow most of all, and hoping to not be too much of a tourist. Granted, I learned my lesson from carrying a bag around Hampton Courts, you can be sure that I will be using a backpack for the rest of the week. Must not stay up late again.

Revie: I do hope everyone is doing well at home, i must say i have never tried so many new foods in my life, it is both fun and scary (lol). I enjoyed the service at church, reminded me of old times at Galilee :( However dear parents, I must recommend you the movie Easy Virtue(starring Colin Firth, Jessica Beil, and Ben Barrens{the guy who couldn't act in Narnia s prince Caspian}however he was much better in this) It has been a while since i had laughed so hard at a movie like Easy Virtue, but don't go see it without me, when i get back we can watch it together. Looking forward to tomorrow, our first day in London, fun stuff. And now for the thing you have been waiting for( apology for not writing yesterday, way to tired, but my O SO Funny friends filled in for me). The British DETEST peanut butter, I wonder what old peanut butter has ever done to offend them except being something Americans love, who knows. I find it rather upsetting, but o well life i guess goes on. Love
Rev

    Gabby, The Wade family are badmitton players.
    Maddy, Be careful carrying those heavy bags.
    Rev, The entire family is so thrilled about your new ability to try and enjoy new foods. Did you take the jar of peanut butter over to Gabby's cousin's house to share at lunch? Daddy will order the movie. It sounds like something we will all enjoy. Gay Lynn and I worked on VBS decor today. I am going to need your help when you get home. What do the English have to say about your American accents? Think of a great gift for the Linnell family. Remember who else loves you! Mom.
