| Jersey day 1 was full and exciting. Markus and I arrived at the airport to see Ma and Pa's shining faces. Then, we dropped out goods at the B and B and headed into town to explore. Ended up getting to go to a really great market (we ate bratwurst!!! and ice cream!!!!). That night the island put on a Reggae/Jazz/Ska concert, which is where these pictures were taken. The sun was out, and the night was chilly and beautiful. |

| Our little village had a "Village Day" celebration 2 weeks ago, and since we are on the 1st floor, we had a good view of the action. As you can see, people are getting pretty excited for the Olympics around here. As a side note, I'm pretty sure that is not the real Olympic torch, but the realdeal IS coming by my workplace in July. |

| Check out this lady's gold bling! We're pretty sure she was the Mayor. |

| Dacre and Natasha got married this past weekend. They were so beautiful and we really loved getting to meet more friends and family and spend the day celebrating with them. Sorry some of these are blurry, but I figured you could at least get to jist if I added them. |

| When we went to visit Nana, I had my first encounter with the English Popos. End result? We had our sweet little silver bullet taken away and brought to a wrecking lot in Swindon, which is just outside of Bath. It took a bit of figuring and a lot of kindness from our friends Mary and Julian (with some good distracting and entertaining help from Karis and Brian the dog), and by Tuesday, we were back in Swindon picking our car up. Here are a few pictures of our grand escape. :) Also, please note Brian's tail in the 2 bottom pictures. He had a little accident that morning and the bandage made him look so cute. |
