I have to get you caught up...

Well, September has been extremely busy here! The 8th and 9th we went to the Lake District to visit some friends...Bob & JoAnn Buchanan. Before we met them we spent the day at The World of Beatrix Potter. It was so fun. The kids were beside themselves when they saw Peter! It was so cute. The museum had the characters from all the stories recreated and placed in scenes of the stories. It was amazing. We walked around Windermere for a while and looked at the shops. This is where Beatrix Potter spent many of her summers. She also bought a lot of land and donated it to the National Trust preservation so there's a lot of undeveloped land there.

http://www.hop-skip-jump.com/ you can check out the website for more information about Beatrix Potter. Oh, you should also rent Miss Potter. It's a good movie about Beatrix and I believe they filmed it here.








Then we spent the night in Cockermouth (that's a real town...) got up and went to Keswick and spent the day with Bob & JoAnn, it was a great time.
