My London Family


 
Wes's oldest brother Zach, his wife Sandy, and their six amazing children.

    
 

If you're going to do London, you'll probably want to hook up with them too.  Zach can answer any question you have about England's history, Sandy is a fabulous driver + navigator (navigating was supposed to be my job but I mostly just said, "you need to...I don't know!!"=), Maddy will stay for the full tour of St. Paul's with you even when the rest of your group is too tired, Harry's got the underground beat, Ben will forgive you when you cut him out of the family picture,
 
(??!  So lame of me.  So sorry Ben! =)
 
 Abby and Emma are the best 12 hour flight companions a body can find!
 

 And Josh is one honest to goodness trooper of a five year old traveler.


     
 
I can't even tell you how much I love this family! 
 
 
For so many reasons besides the above mentioned. 


Letting me tag along on their trip to London was the (delicious) icing on a heavy cake of virtues.
 
 
They made me feel so at home, and I'll always be so grateful for the wonderful memories they allowed me to share!!!!! ( Including the classic flat tire moment =)

You truly do have an amazing family. Wes's family is truly a blessing to you but you too are a wonderful blessing to them. I hope one day to have family just like them and you. Love you girl!

Lori, you were an amazing navigator! And such a good sport about being thrown into the calling. And if I ever get another flat tire in the middle of nowhere England, I want you by my side to be such a calming influence and to make all of the phone calls and deal with all of the rescue guys. You were AWESOME!!
Love to see all of the photos! Makes us want to go back.
