"Spring Bank"

So we have started to make a list of the things that we want to do while we are still in England. We decided that we wanted to stay around the community for this break since we have a limited time left. I must say, I've stayed pretty busy doing things with the people that we love from Bradford!

SATURDAY- Went with Abby to get our cartilage pierced.

SUNDAY- Leigh preached an amazing service at Great Horton United Methodist Church 

SUNDAY- Some traveling gypsy boys showed up at our house and offered to cut down our jungle in the backyard. It was really fun to talk to them and hear about their lives. (Shaun, John, and Tom) Ages 13, 10, and 8

MONDAY- Rainy day Monday resulted in lots of movies and chocolate covered fruit!

TUESDAY- We went to Manchester for a day and couldn't help but try on some shoes that made us feel like a spice girl for a moment! I "shopped" for the longest amount of time I have ever shopped...impressive, especially when I didn't buy hardly anything!

TUESDAY- Shopping in Manchester with June, Helen, Abby and Leigh

WEDNESDAY- Leigh and I finally went to the Media Museum that Bradford is famous for! We ended up spending a lot of time watching British TV shows from the past...

WEDNESDAY- We went on Orange Wednesday (1/2 off) to the theater to watch the Hangover 2.  We had a funny moment during the movie when there was a joke about P.F. Changs and in a packed theater Leigh and I were the only ones laughing...none of the Brits understood the joke at all! When Leigh and I realized that we were the ONLY ones laughing it made us laugh even more!

THURSDAY- We had kids club, and because it was a nice day we played some cricket...

THURSDAY- It was so "hot" for England that we had a special treat and took the Kids Club kids to the COOP to get an ice cream. YUM!

FRIDAY- Louise took Leigh and I to Epworth, the birthplace of the John and Charles Wesley the founders of Methodism. I got to learn all about the Methodist faith and some history of England. 

FRIDAY- Stopped and took a picture in a Rape Seed Field and got told off by a random lady...

FRIDAY- That night I went to visit Abby and we went to Abby's sister's house where I got to meet her nephew, Samson. He was so cute!

SATURDAY- Angie and Malcom took us on a walk over the moors. It was a very "bonte experience" with misty rain and wind.  We walked up to the ruins of a farmhouse that has been associated with Emily Bronte's novel, Wuthering Heights.
