Shrunken 2 Drunken

Stone Henge just like the real one with drunk people, only smaller! This is the actual prop used in film Spinal Tap.

I can't get enough of this nude beach, click on it...click on it!

Ok, this just doesn't look right. "Honey don't look at the twins."

Yes they still do this to people, if they refuse to drink mead.

more to come....don't you love it?

Shrunken Drunken Village

Ok This is what passes for entertainment in England. A miniature village. But only the best and most confusing outings for Renee.

So, get drunk and small (did you get that reference?) and lets go to the village of the damned that time forgot.

Ok What are these guys doing? Ok they're drunk.

Ahh a beach nice!

Ooooo a Nude beach!

More later....

"I left my tooth at Haytor"

Well, first off this is a lie because I found my tooth and brought it back with me. What you've never heard the story of the lost tooth of Haytor? Gather round kiddies and I'll tell you a tale that will make Americans cringe and smile.

HE-MAN

Haytor is a tor, not He-Man's ("HE-MAN" music) arch enemy. A tor is mostly a pile of rocks or a hill shaped like a pile of rocks, it's a celtic thing. Anyhoo, there we were at the visitor centre eating ice cream when my chocolate popsicle with a chocolate bar centre (yes that's how you spell centre around here) suddenly seems like it has something hard in it. I thought "Oh, it's got toffee chunks in it!" The "toffee" seemed a little hard though so I spit it out. Then I noticed I was missing a tooth. Technically part of a tooth. Realizing there were probably no dentists on or around the tor, we decided to wait until Monday when I could have my first British dental experience. We climb up Haytor and Renee wants to go to the top. When we went back down to the parking lot I miraculously found the white rock that was a former piece of my tooth.

HAY-TOR

Monday comes and I am thinking this is going to be painful and expensive. I called and got a dental appointment with a dentist within walking distance. They informed me it would cost £16.50. I thought Ok that is a reasonable "see the dentist" fee. To shorten this story I handed him the piece of my tooth and he glues it back in. It cost £16.50. Apparently, some Brits complain about this fee, that may explain the state of English teeth. I was relieved and amazed. I am still in shock. I thought they would root my canals or something. He just said go easy on it for a couple of hours.

.....UPDATE ...... UPDATE..... at the Irish Pub with Thai food my tooth bit came out again because of some tough tofu. So back to the dentist tomorrow. I wonder if they will charge another fee.

Ok to keep this about Renee because it ALL about Renee. And I like that. I do. I really do.

Here is a picture of Renee running up to the Tor Hay.

Haytor (again)

Later she met some cows.

Until next time this He-Man is saying goodnight.

If the pants fit...

Shannon was determined to try on Renee's pants to see if they fit her adult legs. Hmmm they didn't, but she did manage to get them on her calves.

Renee, wearing her "circle" hat watches in amazement.

Shannon is sooo proud. Well, I guess they are as weird as me.

Speaking of sleep...

We decided that Renee needed a new bed. Maybe that's why she fell asleep at the office.

So we went out and bought a new bed.

Notice the duvet matches the decals on her wall?

Renee loves her new bed.

Asleep on the job

Bring your daughter to work day. If you do participate. Try to make it interesting.

Can you say Beer garden? Let's go to the BEACH! and Bouncy jump.

After a hard day we like to go to the pub.
Here we are at a local pub in the beer garden. Yum!

Nothing like some crisps to go with a beer.

I post LARGE pictures, suitable for framing or making your desktop photo. Just click on the photo and when it opens up right click on it and save to your pc.

Man, when the sun is out here England Shines!



Let's Run!

Now for a video...

Yes Renee, your father is mad. Why do you ask?

Up in the air, do you like it?

If you look to your left you can see the bell tower.

Let's go to Sidmouth and get some ice cream!

Ahh, I'll just rest one sec...

What's that?

At Dawlish Warren they have a merry-go-round for 3 tokens.

Mom, get me off this train, it's terrible! I wouldn't pay 3 tokens for that.

Bouncy, bouncy this is way better than a bed, and only 3 tokens.

Want to see a video of that?

Nice green space!

Hey more BOUNCY!

See you next time! BYE BYE!

Happy Birthday Renee!

Wake it up Renee, you're TWO!

What did you get?

A Trike and a Garage!

Are we raising a boy?

Would you like a bowl of chocolate icing?

mmm that's GGGOOOODD!

Mom made a special chocolate cake!

Let's go to the beach and try out that new trike!

Hey what's that?

A little airplane!

Ahh, Home of the Black Swan.

and what a stylish trike.

Renee had a beautiful birthday and she got to skype Gigi, Dude, Ben, Leiah, Amber, Mack and Betsy!
They all sang Happy Birthday and had a cake that looked spookily (not a word) identical to the one Shannon made.

and now for your moment of zen...
