We forgot to buy t-shirts when we were in London, so Saturday the girls (minus L'eah) headed back into Brighton to try and find some. We went to the mall and walked around, but they didn't have any touristy shops. We went into Claire's to get Aubree some makeup applicators, and when we walked out, there was a threading booth right there. I've been wanting to take Aubs in to get her eyebrows waxed for a while now, but was a little scared about how they would turn out. So, I told her to sit down in the chair. This was her thing I was buying for her, since she didn't get anything at Hamley's. The girl was really fast and gave Aubree a really nice shape. It was also cool to watch it being done. I love how it accentuates her beautiful eyes! My little girl is turning into a young woman!
After the mall, we walked along the seafront out to the pier, but only found shirts that had Brighton written on them. We didn't mind walking though, because Saturday was the FIRST day (and of course our last day there) that the sun was shining! It was still windy and cold, but the sun was out! It was gorgeous!
We got back to the flat and picked up the boys and L'eah and went to go fly kites at Devil's Dyke. Hannah will have to give us a lesson on why it's called Devil's Dyke. Hannah bought a few cheap kites, and we tried to fly them. For some reason, they didn't want to fly nicely. They kept flipping over, then crashing. It was super fun, though. The countryside is lovely, and we had tons of fun in the sun! We did one last dinner out, then headed home to pack up our stuff.
We got to the airport early to get checked in, then had almost 2 hours to kill before our flight. We got some breakfast and found t-shirts for the boys along with a couple other souvenirs. We absolutely LOVED our visit to England. Thank you Buzz and Hannah for being such great tour guides, and a HUGE thank you to Dave for putting us up! Love you all!

I have really enjoyed reading about your trip. Thanks for taking so many pictures. I love seeing the kids getting bigger but wish our kids could be getting bigger together! Nathan's best friend from NC is moving to Twin Falls, ID in three weeks. I guess these are just lessons he has to learn at a young age. He still talks about Nick and remembers things they did together.
