Winter Break Trip to the UK – Part 2 of 2
[Photos taken on 29 – 30 October 2017, posted on 30 June 2018. The weather is demoralizing.]
For our two remaining days in the UK, Finnur took the kids to a trampoline park (my Achilles tendon wasn’t up to the task) while I went shopping. Then we had a good time at the local playground. This page contains quite a few animated gifs which might need a while to load. (36 images total)

Cute photo of the siblings on the playground close to where (grand)dad lives.
Emma at the trampoline center earlier in the day. You have to wear these special socks.

Jumping around.
Meanwhile I went on a short shopping trip to downtown Gillingham.
I meant to try out a hipster cafe, but it was closed. I’ll have to try again next time.
Back at home-base, Emma played with a broom.
Then Emma borrowed my camera.

Emma by me.
The flowers were still blooming in the garden.
I managed to drag the kids out of the house, just barely.
Anna only agreed because I agreed she could read her book on the playground.
The friendly neighborhood playground.
Emma turning around and around.
Bjarki chilling.
This is an organ of sorts. I can’t believe it still works after all these years!
Shouting into the ground.
Bjarki making funny faces on top of a roof.
Smiles, my favorite thing.
Swinging around a pole.
The weirdest slide I know of.
Slide action!
Anna pondering.
Mother and daughter.

Sun going down.
Turning.
With uncle Anthony.

Time to fly back home. Here we are at Gatwick airport.
Pandemonium as usual.
