Saturday, June 14, 2014: Trooping for the Color

11:32 pm
In the morning, we watched Trooping the Color on television. Trooping the Color is Queen Elizabeth II's birthday ceremony. It happened a little late this year, but it was worth watching. Here's the full ceremony, as it happened last year:

Then we watched an episode of The Simpsons and met my mom at the farmer's market. But then we had to get ready for our train to Knebworth. We were going to visit my mom's old friend Lara and her partner David, plus their kids Imogen and Alex. We ate dinner, played cricket, swung on a zipline, played football (or soccer as we call it in the USA) and then watched TV. In total, we saw one and a half Doctor Who episodes, most of Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief and part of Despicable Me.

In short, it was a very fun day.
