Destination United Kingdom and France!

Well, since we are on our real vacation this week, my options are kinda limited as what I can do! However I discovered the more the merrier! I've involved my four nieces (two are 13 and the other two are 6), and my 11 year old nephew. They really like the arts and crafts part of it!
I didn't check out as many books at the library before I left as I didn't want to travel with them so our books this week are:
B is for Big Ben, an England Alphabet
E is for Eiffel Tower, a France Alphabet
These books are great if you've never read them. They can also be found at www.discovertheworldbooks.com

Our crafts are a lot of fun, everyone is having a great time.
Friendship bracelets/bookmarks made with blue, white, and red for the colors of both England and France's flags
Wooden puzzles (we made the telephone booth, a chateaux, a train, and the Eiffel Tower
Foam Tiara's and jewels
Sun Catchers to represent stain glass windows
 Got my nieces working on puzzles too!
 Alisa's finished Chateaux
 Suncatchers! Even got my mom to do one too!! I love family vacations
 Our finished suncatchers!
Almost all the wooden puzzles...My son's Locomotive, my daughter's Eiffel Tower, and my Red Phone Booth!

One thing my dad always does for me when I come to visit is have fish fry! Great food, awesome family, good times!! So our food this week was pretty much done for me as  soon as we got off the plane!
Fish and chips
Croissants and pastries
