Queen Elizabeths birthday

Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April 1926.  So I thought it would be fun to celebrate her 86th birthday.  I watched this amazing miniseries about her life.  They had a different actress play her for each period of her life.  If anyone is interested I highly recommend it. In the afternoon Kaellyn and I had tea and drank lavender soda water.  It's very yummy.

The miniseries featuring 5 different actress as The Queen


Queen Elizabeth eats toast with jam and 1 egg for breakfast so that is what Kaellyn had



This book is amazing and tells all about The Queens jewelry

After the zoo, we gave the 2 kids a bath and then put them to bed.  The next day they cuddled and watched cartoons.  We went to a museum but they didn't enjoy it at all so we left early.  Kaellyn and I then were back on the road heading back to Saegertown.

She slept for 4 hours that afternoon because she was exhausted


All in all, we had a great time visiting Suzie, Max and Piper.  Can't wait to see them again soon!

The next morning we got the kids up and went to the zoo.  They all had a great time looking at all the animals.
