Spring Break!

I was blessed to be able to go to Scotland over my Spring Break last week. My sweet parents made it possible for me to go over one more time to spend time with Holly, Luke, and little Isaiah. Thank you so much, Mom and Dad!

The trip started a little rocky-- after arriving in Edinburgh to find that our luggage was still in Denver, scraping the rental car, and someone (who will remain nameless :) ) filled the regular gas tank with diesel fuel, we were anxious to get into St. Andrews and get settled. Once we finally got into St. Andrews, everything was wonderful. We stayed in a cute little flat that is a 5 minute walk from my sister's flat. We had a wonderful time playing with Isaiah, eating scones, playing with Isaiah, walking around the quaint little town, playing with Isaiah, having High Tea at the Old Course Hotel, and playing with Isaiah! I love my little nephew! He is at such a fun age, and you can see the wheels constantly turning in his mind. It's also really fun to see my sister and brother-in-law be parents. They are doing such a great job and are training up a sweet little boy. Here are some pics from the trip:

Cute "wee" little nephew!


We were visiting an old cathedral, and Isaiah found little statues just his size!


Isaiah LOVES Spot the Dog! When the grandparents saw a window full of Spots, they couldn't resist! As you can see, Isaiah is one happy boy!


My class is doing Flat Stanley right now. We had fun showing mine around Scotland.

My mom took Holly and I for high tea at the Old Course Hotel.

Oh, come on! It was ONLY regular in a diesel, not the other way! Nameless person isn't THAT dumb.
