Bumblesnouts and Edinburgh Castle

Happy Saint Andrews Day everyone! That may not mean anything to you back in Canada but here it means we get to go to the castle for free!! So this morning Hannah, Jacob and I ventured out in the drizzling rain to see the castle. They even let me take some pictures!!

Here is Hannah being the guard at the castle gate (and proudly displaying her ticket!)

The many cannons were big hits! Notice they are still holding their tickets....

This one is for you Uncle Dave!!

And as we were leaving, Jacob decided he did want to be a guard as well

A close up of the cutest castle guards that ever there were!!

And now it is time to show off one of my many proud moments as a mother. Alexander and Benjamin have been attending a singing club every Thursday since September and last night they put on the production they have been learning. It was called Bumblesnouts Save the Earth. It was very cute! The boys played "thugs" who along with another boy and girl had to kick, hit and basically beat up something that fell from the sky. Here they are with the entire cast getting ready for the show. The lighting wasn't great for taking photos. If you enlarge you may notice them with the hoods up on their CCM Hockey sweaters!! Go Canada!!

And finally, here is a little snippet of a video I took when they were doing their song....they don't look too dangerous do they??
