We made our first foray in to the London tube system to get to the Natural History Museum, where we met up with Hannah and her family, an old swimming team mate of Kristin's who now lives in London. Between the 6 young children, it was difficult to keep everyone engaged and moving at the same pace, but we managed to make it lunch time without anyone completely losing it.

Dinosaurs was the only section that seemed to interest all of the kids
After the museum we ate lunch together, then the Beatons ventured up towards the Diana Memorial Playground in Hyde Park. It was a longish walk, but the park was to notch for the kids to play at. We pretty much let the kids run wild until it was time to go home for supper.

On the way home the kids finally got to experience their first double decker bus ride. They sprinted straight for the top and eventually worked their way to the front row seats. Big highlight for the kids.
