We were completely exhausted but it was a terrific time!!
Things we've done over the holiday:

Totem's Dress Rehearsal
Pub golf
Dover Castle
Rochester
Dog racing
Northampton pub crawl
London visit x3
Canterbury
Monkey Bizz
and the dinners, lunches, gatherings with multiple people on multiple occasions
then of course, not to forget, the many visits to Jumpers Rebound Centre!

Just landed in London. Typical weather in England.

Here we are at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the same day we landed we were out again by nightfall to watch Totem's dress rehearsal.

Although hard for my jet lagged body, it was great to see the show again!!

Taking the boys out to Monkey Bizz was quite a bit of work! They never stop!!

Mum is having fun!

Uncle is having more fun!!

Swim cap is so tight it's giving Gary a face lift!

The much anticipated, and infamous Pub Golf night, which Gary had been mentally and physically preparing for a month for, had finally arrived.
Theme: Hats
Names: Family Guy characters

Gary never expected anyone to bring a swim cap for the hat collection, yet he knew his fate once he saw Dominic dangling the standard latex equipment for competitive swimmers in the 1980's in his face as we started the night of trouble.

7pm-3am, 8 hours of binge drinking, pub crawling, and the generous amount of "Sacred Cards of Truth" giving, we had a several drop outs before Hole 16, and a new legendary Comedy Stack by Kim, Gary had survived another Pub Golf!

We owned the dance floor

Castle storming with the Cirque folks. Gained a few historical knowledge, including people used to sleep sitting upright.

Dover Castle with Genevieve, Eric and Andrew

Mmm fish 'n chips for lunch!

Rochester Castle

We've visited London 3 times including the time when we watched Totem.The second time we went, we visited the London Dungeons, which was very interesting and scary at times, and the British Museum. We met up with Dsani for our third visit and snapped a photo at every tourist spot. Then watched Stomp at night!

London Eye, Big Ben, House of Parliament, NEXT!!

Chinatown, NEXT!!

Covent Garden Market, DONE!!

Dog racing night with Gary's mum and dad and Auntie Carol was fun! I won 30 Pounds on a 1 Pound forecast :D

Binge drinking round 2!! This time at Northampton with the other trampolining lot.

Big G the Circus Freak!

Day out to Canterbury with Vic V and Nicola! Mmm nice afternoon tea at the haunted Tiny Tim's.

This is where they used to drown witches

Beautiful Canterbury

I had a little jump myself at the gym--my first time on a proper trampoline!! Did several basic moves, but most impressed with my straddle :)
A few photos from our many visits to Jumpers.
