Birthday trip

Rather than having birthday parties for our children we instead do a family outing of the children's choice. Princess's birthday was this weekend and she wanted to see the show the Lion King in London. It was amazing!


This theater is dedicated to showing the Lion King every day for I don't know how long. I am sure they spent quite a bit to get the stage ready for the show...but it was worth it



















We were quite a ways from the stage as theater prices are ridiculously high in London. But on the seats we could rent a small pair of binoculars if we wanted to see the performers better. To be honest we didn't need them although the kids like looking thru them. We got there early but by show time the place was packed!












Enjoying the intermission. This show was about 2.5 hours long. Little Man was getting a bit restless towards the end but he manage to make it thru till the end. Both kids loved the music and seeing the performances.









After wards we headed to the Rain Forest Cafe for dinner. Princess has picked this restaurant every year for past last 3 years:) for her birthday dinner. The kids really enjoy the surroundings.


Meeting Cha Cha at the Rainforest cafe

















Having her ice cream birthday dessert. We had cake waiting at home:)
















It had been in the plans that we would stay in London all week to see the sites as my Husband had a conference there. But that did not work out, at the very last moment the trip was cancelled:(. However Princess enjoyed her Birthday celebration and trip into London as did the rest of the family.
