Where to start?

2-day layover in Dubai. . . family reunion in London and Cotswolds . . . BYU reunion (in London) . . . it's hard to know where to start. . .

Friday in the UAE is considered the Sabbath, since it's a Muslim country.
We attended LDS services in the morning,
visited an active Sikh temple in the afternoon (and appreciated a free Langar meal),
and were awed at the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi in the evening.  

*one of the more memorable moments in Dubai was having my lost iphone and credit cards returned to me by Saddam Hussein at 1:00 in the morning...

Siblings!

I remember when we were all little, and now we're so grown up!

Tennessee Cousins

Sage broke her wrist in Holland Park on our first day in the UK.  Luckily, governments of UK and NZ have "an agreement" so we had no out-of-pocket medical expenses.

Connecticut cousins

Grandma and Grandpa - best parents ever!

One of the kids' favourite days was an afternoon spent playing Sardines in old Wardour castle.  We had the castle to ourselves - no one else around.

free time at the cabin in the Cotswolds

Back in London - Grandma's house (on the right)

Exploring London, getting hit by an irate Oxford history professor, holding tight onto Joycie in the underground, being reunited with Danny, "promming" in Royal Albert Hall (Aurora Orchestra!), evensong at St. Paul's, berrypicking, etc., etc.



 

The Family reunion was followed up by my annual reunion with BYU friends...in London!  What a treat!
