Waxing Six

A dear friend who came to stay with last spring us left us a pretty nice hostess gift, a pass for a couple free entries for our family to any of the Merlin Group attractions through the end of 2012.  We used it to go to Legoland and then used it to go to Madame Tussauds, an immensely popular (and expensive) attraction here in London that we never felt inclined to fork out the £ for.  But with our pass in hand what better opportunity to satisfy our curiosity of this place.  It was lots of fun.  Can't say I'd have had as much fun had we paid, and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but it was good fun seeing all the wax figures of famous people from various arenas.  Some were incredibly real looking, freakishly so.

She had no clue who this was.

This was my favourite!  It was so interesting to get to size up these people.  Some are much taller (or shorter) in actual size than I had expected.

Trevon is 6!  I can't believe how quickly he is growing up.  This birthday was a bit bitter sweet for me. He is growing into such a wonderful, smart, cheerful, fun little boy, but I am holding on to every bit of little I can while it lasts.  It seems far too fleeting now.

We had a great day celebrating with a trip to the cinema to see Madagascar 3, lunch at a Chinese restaurant and a pizza movie night at home followed by cake and presents!

Happy Birthday, Trevon!

Praise indeed! Sooo...Madame Tussaud's is sort of worth it if it is free. Got it. I don't feel bad for never having gone.

Cool to see the real-life size of some of those people in comparison to you guys. Prince William is sure tall, and so is Kate!
