Here's what Madison has been taking care of for the past month or 2- SNAILS! At one time she had 5 snails. Right now she's got 3 because I made her let one go and another escaped. She takes real good care of them and feeds and waters them every day. I don't know for sure, but the snails even look happy when she's getting them all wet! 

I didn't get a shot of all 3 guys in Blue Man Group because that fountain was in the way, but there is a blue guy playing those pipes. The guys would stretch the piping out and it would change the sound. Very cool!  

Another act we saw that was really, really cool was "Blue Man Group" They've been performing in London for a couple of months now. Their show was really neat.  

At Leicester Square, they also had various famous movie cars. Off to our right is the Mini Coopers from the original "Italian Job" movie. We were tickled to get our picture made in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! We love that movie!  

We were walking around right after Stomp! performed and we came across the performers leaving. This is one of the Stomp! guys. He's all nice and sweaty.  

On my birthday, after seeing the Queen, we went over to Leicester Square and discovered they were doing West End Live. They were having various London theater shows do 15 minute performances for free. It was really awesome! This is the performers from the musical "Stomp!" doing one of their numbers. 

I thought these planes were cool, but that smoke really stunk when it finally settled onto the ground! 

Here's a couple pictures of the RAF flybys on the Queen's birthday. 

Here's a closer picture of the royal family looking at the planes flying overhead. 

In this picture, the royal family is on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the RAF flybys. I've manged to get almost all of the royals in this pic. There's the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Harry, Princess Anne, Prince Charles and many assorted other royals. 

Here's a picture of Queen Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, as they went by in their carriage. The Queen decided to wear purple this year.  

Here's a picture I got of Prince Harry going by in his carriage. His brother, William, wasn't there this year :( I'm not sure who all else is in the carriage with Harry.  

For my birthday this year, we went to London to see the "Trooping of the Colour". It's the day they celebrate the Queen's birthday. There was a big parade and a RAF flyby. I was really impressed with these guys. They're riding on horseback and playing instruments!  

Here's the whole family right before we cross the Tower Bridge in London.  

Here is Madison and me on the London tube getting ready for a fun day in London! Madison is doing some kind of crazy eye thing.  

Here's the kids cooling off after lots of walking at the Abbey Road Cafe.  

Here is Abbey Road studios. It's England's verison of Graceland.  

Here is the famous zebra crossing on Abbey Road that the Beatles walked across for their Abbey Road album cover. It really is the same crossing. I just took the picture from the wrong direction! I didn't realize it until I got home and looked at my Beatles cd.  

Here is Madison and Ryan in front of London's City Hall. I thought this was a pretty gay looking building and didn't even know what it was until after I had taken the picture! 

We've been going to London more lately trying to see all the sights we can before we go in a few months. Here is the Tower of London. They used to imprison and kill people here. 

And here is Madison all smiles after her performance. My little ballerina!  

Madison is getting ready to go under the 2 girls arms.  

Madison had her ballet recital a couple of weeks ago and here's some pictures I took there. She did really good! 

Here's another picture I took at the science museum. It's a space capsule that has actually been used in space. It was pretty cool! 

We went to the National Science Museum in London a few weeks ago. This is a picture of a car I thought was really neat there. You enter the car through the front. I think it might only have 1 wheel in the back also.
