The weekend before last, our dear friends John and Abby Kerber hosted us for a long weekend in Edinburgh. We spent quite a bit of time just hanging out with the Kerbers and did a little sight seeing as well. John and Drew got to go to the pub for a few pints and to catch the Manchester United game, but only after Abby and I got in an afternoon of shopping! Unfortunately Abby did most of the picture taking, so she isn't in any pictures!
Alex and Eli had a great time playing together and we could hardly keep up!
One of our big tourist stops was the Edinburgh Castle. It was really interesting to learn about the history of Scotland through the differnent exhibits at the castle and the views from the hill are amazing!!
We also enjoyed some very traditonal Scottish higlights including bagpipes and haggis! Can you see it here on Drew's plate, complete with tatties (potatoes) and neeps (turnips)?
Abby was so sweet to remember that Elijah's birthday is at the end of the month and surprised us with a little cake for him and some Scottish slippers.
After the birthday celebration, we watched the firweorks show at the castle from John and Abby's living room window (the little boys were captivated). And the trip wouldn't have been complete without a screening of Braveheart (the big boys were captivated).
Thanks to the Kerbers and to Edinburgh for a lovely time.
