Tower of London

This is looking out to the London Tower Bridge after we visited the Tower of london. We enjoyed our visit here.

The kids learned how to become knights and squires. They asked for volunteers and our kids were always eager to help out in the process of learning. I almost felt a bit sorry for the others in the group as our 4 were the ones to do the fun stuff.

Learning about the protection they used back in the 1500's.

The kids were learning how to be servants to their Lord's and Lady's. They progressed through 4 different rooms with the hopes of meeting the "king" after their training was over. They learned what it was like to be a page, squire and a knight.

Before each child went up, they asked their name and where they were from. Lauryn was first and told him that she was from the United States. Since this training is happening in the 1500's he laughed and said "sir Lauryn from the United States..whatever that is" I guess we could've said Germany but we're American! Everyone laughed and got a kick out of his reaction to us American's in the training.




Sir Brilee being knighted. It was funny to watch how serious the younger kids took this training. They made sure to bow with their knee NOT touching the ground because that was not allowed back then. Dallin loved this part of the Tower of London.

It's never too cold for ice cream right?

Dallin loves to make a mess with his ice cream for the camera.

This picture was funny to take. We heaved the kids up on this wall. It was quite wide, not like they were ready to fall into the Thames river or anything like that. You would've thought they were on a skinny balance beam by the way they were clinging to each other. They were terrified on that wall and jumped down as soon as the picture was taken.
