At the Blue Lagoon!
Here we are at the Golden Waterfall
Mom preparing to cook a fabulous Icelandic meal
Our Icelandic feast on our last night. The food is (clockwise from what Michael is
holding), strawberry Skyr (Iceland's version of yogurt, really a liquid cheese), Iceland's national food the hot dog, dried fish (sort of like beef jerky to them), more raspberry and apple Skyr, Mom's wonderful fish, onion, and potato concoction, and last but not least, rye flat bread. Yum!
Here we are at the Prime Meridian at Greenwitch Observatory with a foot in both the Western and Eastern hemispheres!
Life's a stage, especially at Shakespeare's Globe Theater
The 'tube'(subway), became our best friend, Hounslow Central was our home station, but we think we rode on every single line in London.

Visiting our cousins in Switzerland, notice Erin and her kids are all bundled up, and we are in our summer T-shirts. :)

To all of the Theis family's faithful blog followers:
ReplyDeleteHi everyone this is Matthew's cousin Mary Clare Theis. Matthew has been in touch with me through email and he told me that they were having trouble with the internetand could not access the blog. He also told me their new exciting news; they have met Mia, their new sister!!! The family is adoring their new little girl and is busy taking care of her. Matthew sent me pictures of Mia and asked me to "share the news with the rest of the world." I have been trying to post the pictures but the blog wont let me do that as a comment (and Matthew didnt give me the username and password for signing in as him so that I can post pictures). If anyone else knows how I can post pictures on this blog PLEASE comment and let me know!!!!!! Otherwise if you haven't seen the pictures and want to, you can give me your email address and maybe I could send them to you. Sorry for the complications with the pictures, but at least I was sort of able to fulfill Matthew's request by sharing the great news about Mia with you all!!
