Lovely houseguests - titled by Anne

Mom and Anne got in early Saturday morning and were exhausted. We didn't do much, they took a nap, and we went on a car tour with Doug so that mom and Anne could see the Protestant and Catholic areas and division within Belfast. It was great for Doug to be able to tell them the history, since he knows way more than I do. That night I went to youth club and mom and Anne went to sleep at 8:30. Sunday they went to church with me, and my youth were sooo funny looking at Anne. I had told them we dont look that much alike, but they thought I was crazy.

After church we hiked up to cave hill. Funny enough Anne and I both had on our blue North Face coats, green gloves, blue hats, and our gray trainers. The hike up was good and the view was, as always, wonderful. Mom and Anne loved it. It was great to get to take them there. And according to the picture, I jump higher than Anne! YESSSSSS. (Now you know which one is me and which is Anne haha) They went with me to the point Sunday night and got to see my youth practice for their youth service. Mom and Anne decided that one of my youth is Bobby Mooks twin, for all of you who know him. Pretty funny and so true.

Monday we planned to go to Dublin. Bright and early Monday morning, mom hadn't slept at all the night before, still struggling with kickin the jet-lag in the bum. And I wasn't really feeling too stellar. So we decided not to go. We went to city centre to see the sights, including my favorite places in the city, custom house square. We also shopped and had tea and raspberry muffins at Roast, my favorite coffee shop. We got fish and chips for dinner, mom's favorite. After dinner I got in my new bathrobe and slippers mom got me at Premark (the super cheap store...) and I got to catch up on some of the episodes of Greys anatomy that mom brought over! So nice.

Today I went to Newington and mom and Anne came for my last hour there. It was fun for them to get to see what I do and fun for the memebers to see them. Some of the reactions were priceless. Then we went to lunch at the usual bistro with Joyce and Rosemary from the office and then to the office to finish some youth sunday stuff.

It is only Tuesday and they are here until Sunday morning so there is much more to do! There are day trips ahead, so get ready for more pictures. Anne is sitting trying to telling me what to write, so I am sure she will have much to share with you when she gets home. She also loves to attempt the accent, failing miserably yet successfully speaking with an insanely high, fake British accent. Again, if you ask her, she might do it for you. haha.
