Monday was a fun day with my cousin Lori and her family.  We met up at Speakers Corner in Hyde Park and I made the older kids play catch with my kids!  hehehe!  It worked great and the kids seemed to have a fun time in the sunshine.  And it was nice for me to be able to sit and chat with Lori.  We decided we were hungry and headed across the street to the Marriott hotel's secret entrance to the Roofnic......a pop-up restaurant on the roof.  Apparently the bouncer shouldn't have let us by because when we got to the top the employee came over and quickly told us that children weren't allowed!  He said that because his colleague made the mistake that he would let them stay (and the fact that no one else was there), but "for future reference" they couldn't come in.  No worries dude, we won't be going back!!  They were supposed to open at 10.  We arrived at 11.  Apparently the chef hadn't arrived yet.  They didn't ask if we wanted anything at all and didn't seem like we were wanted. They did have some yummy looking desserts and we ordered 1 each and enjoyed them with some water.  The weather was nice though and the kids enjoyed just hanging out.

We were going to say goodbyes and the Parr family was going to go to the Globe, but kindly said they would change their plans to go to St. Pauls cathedral so that we could join them.  We saw a Pizza Express right across the street and since no one got a proper lunch, the kids were hungry and we saddled up for a quick lunch.  It was a nice place to sit down, chat, and use the restroom.  After lunch we went to St. Pauls and enjoyed the beautiful cathedral.

My kids were pretty exhausted by then and ready to go home.  It was so nice to catch up with all of them!!!  Good times!
