On Thursday, we took a tour of C.S. Lewis' house and got to walk around the pond and the woods around his house! It was really neat to be in the same room where he wrote the Chronicles of Narnia! I'm actually reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe right now! It's so fun to be able to be reading a C.S. Lewis book in Oxford!
Katie Gager, Katherine Barnes, and I went to Blenheim Palace yesterday! It costs 12 pounds to get into the palace and 7 pounds to get into the grounds. However, we were sneaky and we snuck in a back gate and got in for free. Apparently, if you know about the public footpath, you can get in for free. Thank goodness Katie Gager had good eyes. We saved 7 pounds. Once we were in, we walked over to the sheep that were grazing. One of them had it's legs sticking straight up. When we came over to it, we realized that it was not dead, only stuck on it's back. Katherine and I gave it a boost up and saved it's life! We video taped the whole thing! It was great! We also got to ride a free kiddy Winston Churchill Express train! It didn't really go anywhere, but we were all about free adventures throughout the day! It's also Easter weekend. On Friday, we set up stations of the cross and also had a picnic at the park for 3 1/2 hours! I actually got a tan in England! We fed the duck and played frisbee too! Saturday we took a day trip to Woodstock. Today, Sunday, we had a sunrise service. We are about to have a burger and hotdog cookout in the backyard and then we will head to University Parks to hunt Easter eggs! I'm so excited! The girls exchanged Easter baskets this morning! I got a pint of icecream and Cadbury creme eggs from Kasey Morgan!
