In our search to find activities to fill up our evenings here as a family (especially this week with Abe gone on business to Dubai) we have started reading "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" as is it known here in the UK.
The kids have really enjoyed having me read it to them...we get more of the jokes and proper English vernacular than before and picture many of the places she writes of now we have spent three months here. They are also big enough to enjoy it now. Zach was just a baby when this was first printed.
We took a trip to platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station. There was actually a line of people to take pictures at this historic site:)
I am enjoying discovering this story all over again as it has been a long time since we first heard of Harry Potter, "The Boy Who Lived."

Yay for Harry Potter! What an adventure to read him in England! I hear by the grapevine (the children) that they are loving the reading of it, too. Thumbs up all around. Wish I could sneak in to hear it with you.
Love, Bamma
how awesome!
So fun to actually BE there to read it and to live the culture! I never knew there was really a Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross Station!
Ummm... that was me, in case you were wondering, just accidentally logged in as Matt on his computer... oops!
