Christmas Cambridge 2008

Ana had never decorated a Christmas tree so this year we went over to David and Janet's house. They are Ana's godparents and also David is Andrew's cousin. This was also the first time we spent Christmas holidays in Cambridge so it was special for several reasons.

Cambridge Botanical Garden

Ana had her friend over on saturday and we took Aada to the botanical garden. It's a safe place for Ana to run around without cars, bicycles and litter. It is starting to a lot colder with temperatures in 50s but the day was sunny and warm so it was a nice day to go to the gardens. The leaves are starting to change colors but they have winter flowers out.
Ana is smelling the winter pansies they have out near the patio area where we had lunch. Aada and Ana smelled the flowers and picked up the pretty leaves on the ground.
Ana and Aada are up to mischief chasing each other and exploring. You can tell they are having a good time just being outside.
After eating sandwiches and cookies they played tagged and ran up and down the patio ramp. It was a really good day for being outside.

Chasing in Garden

Ana loves this maze in the botanical gardens. It's a great place for Ana to chase and run around. She can run really fast now!

English October

It is autumn in England and starting to get a little cooler. Today was a nice sunny day so this thursday we went to a new playgroup in Cambridge by the river at St. Andrews. The kids really love the tampoline as you can tell from the pictures. They love jumping up and down. Ana and her friend Aada who is from Finland took turns on the trampoline.

Afterwards we went to have lunch at a pub. Yeah, you  wouldn't think English food is any good but it was decent. There was a lovely outside area nearby and we let the kids play in the autumn leaves and run around and be silly.
