Our Trip To London - Jan 24th, 2007

Last week Skylar had an appointment in London to meet with the specialist and plastic surgeon to take a look at her finger. They said it was healing nicely on it's own and they are not going to do anything for it. That in a few weeks it'll be healed over. In the future her finger will be a little bit shorter and flatter, but by the time she starts school you won't be able to know there was an injury unless you were looking for it. So that is good news, they want to see her again on Feb 14th (guess how I'm spending Valentines Day) (that is if she is still with us). They just want to make sure it is still healing properly.

We were going to leave Chance at a family members house and not bring him to this appointment because he has been really traumatized by the whole incident (and the incident the week before with the stitches). But then we realized they are not going to be doing much for her and that it'll be a quick appointment so we decided to turn this into a mini-vacation! We went to London the day before, got a hotel (with a pool of course), and just hung out. This was Chance's first time staying at a hotel. He had his OWN queen size bed. We were telling Chance about the hotel and how it has a pool. So we carried everything we could in the first trip and we were going to make a second trip but as soon as we walked into the room Chance started to take his clothes off and wanted to go swimming NOW! So we all went. Then we came back to room, had showers, and we ordered Pizza to our hotel room, it's been over a year since we ordered a pizza to be delivered! (They don't deliver to the country. Well technically they do BUT it's a $20 delivery charge!!!). After dinner we put Skylar to bed and Chance and Andrew went for another swim before bed.

Wednesday morning we got up early and headed to the children's hospital for 8:30am. We were in and out in about 10 minutes. We went back to the hotel for another swim, and then packed up.

From there we went to London's Children Museum. We were there just over 2 hours and the kids had a BLAST! There was so much for them to do and play. Man, I wish I didn't forget the camera!!! I guess we are going to have to go back again with the camera. lol. I still want to take the to the Guelph Children's Museum some day. My sister says it's really good there, maybe in the summer time we'll take a day trip out there.
