Liverpool and Lake Windermere

Our neighbors invited us to take a trip to visit Liverpool and see the Lake District. Jon is from Liverpool, so we got a personal tour and we were invited to stay with Jon's family.

Liverpool is on the east side of the Mersey Estuary which is mongo.

Dominic and Jon.

It was founded in 1207 as a borough.

We all fell in love with Jon's family and their dog Leo. He gets his teeth brushed every night with liver flavored toothpaste, most definitely a highlight of our time in England.

From there we drove up to the adorable Lake District cottage we found online. It smelled funny and was TONS smaller than it appeared in the photos, but the boys adored that it was built over 4 floors. The kitchen was in the basement and the photo below shows how we boiled pasta in 4 teeny pots to feed our troops.

Despite the inconveniences and the awkward family photos, we had a great time.

An amazing thing I learned that weekend, was that there are people in the world who have never tried pbj! Both Etch and Jon had their first taste of the gloriousness that is peanut butter and jelly brought together in holy union.

Mmmmmm!

Hopefully it is the first of many.

We took a boat ride tour of Lake Windemere, and it was FREEZING!! But also absolutely beautiful. Dominic is a little light on body fat and needed to be swaddled.

We visited the aquarium.

Then we caught a ride back to Windemere.

We are forever grateful that our adventure brought us to meet Etch and Jon and Kyle. We never imagined we would fall so madly in love.

Does Peter Rabbit live here?

Lintel.

This looks like a good place for a rabbit family.

Salt marsh.

I love my Etch.

 

The Visit of Two Places by Dominic

  

I went to Liverpool. I was very very excited! We went to a museum and saw lots and lots of things. I remember seeing shining knight's armour, and I saw a pirate suit with a very sharp sword and a big gun that went BANG BANG BANG! Liverpool was one of the best countries that I ever went to. I like Liverpool because it is very fun. Their football team makes me very very included.

Leo the dog he was very very cute. I liked how Kyle's grandparents brushed Leo's teeth. It was very funny because he growled a lot. I liked how he growled. The toothpaste smelled like liver.

 Liver is close for Liverpool, like the city remember? I mean country!

The Visit of Beatrix Potter's House

She was very famous for writing all those books she wrote. She must have took hours and hours and days! It was very interesting. We saw a book ourselves, like one where she is writing one, not her real self, just like a ripped out page from a book.

I talked to a man and he said something about a picture that was out there and not in here and Michael got it right, my brother, and it was annoying, very annoying.

My favorite Beatrix Potter book is Ginger and Pickles. It's very funny because a stuffed police officer dips his pencil in treacle. It is very funny because he tasted it. Pickles was very scared, he thought it was a real police man so they left their shop and they closed it forever and let the shop be dominated by police man.

That bunny was following some beans, it was very funny, because it has nibbles on it from Peter Rabbit! There were seven bunnies to find. It was fun. One was in Mr. McGreggor's farm.

I think people should visit the Lake District a lot! When we were in the car we were going to the Lake District and while we were going to the Lake District we were listening to some Harry Potter!
