The Making Of Harry Potter

[We return now to our regularly-scheduled chronological narrative.] Our first sight after picking Rebecca and Penelope up at Heathrow was Warner Brothers' The Making of Harry Potter, aka (to me) Harry Potter World. I took care of Penelope while Vicki and Rebecca did the 4 hour tour (including gift shoppe). You'd think P would be screaming for her mommy under the circumstances, but no, she just adjusted without a whimper and was the happy and easily entertained toddler she was for nearly all the next two weeks. Of course that shouldn't be too difficult when you're the constant center of attention, upon whom new experiences and treats and presents are being showered constantly. That's what grand-parents are for. [Photos by Rebecca; captions by Vicki.]

Wes and I are glad that you finally have had time to add more photos and narrative on the blog! I know it is quiet now that the girls have gone, though.
We loved all the photos of Penelope...making memories for her. I am sure she had a grand time with you and Vicki again. Cara is already planning that Wes and I will come to Chicago to take care of her future little ones "like Mark and Vicki did for Penelope."
