Blair and Bethany: Christmas Eve

Blair's parents flocked south for the month of December and invited us to come visit them. We decided to go over Christmas so we spent the normally cold holiday in warm Lake Havasu City, Arizona. It was beautiful and warm, which was exactly the break we needed, but we didn't get to do the kind of things we would normally do for an Idaho Christmas like sled and drink hot chocolate. Not to fret, though. We had a 'plethora' of things we could've done (If you're not quite sure what that means, you haven't seen the 'Even Stevens' episode and are really missing out) but we Blair and I were hesitant to take on anything too much because of our kids. So we decided to go bowling. It was so much fun to bowl with Blair's family.

Annie and I couldn't get over how funny the 'form' photos were. So brace yourself. You are in for a real treat....

Yes, my camera is amazing. There isn't a camera that can blur photos quite like mine can. You should all go buy one =)

And of course, Ellie was cheerin' us on behind the scenes!

The London Bridge

On our way into town, we passed a street sign named "London Bridge Road".

Blair: That's the real London Bridge, you know.

Bethany: Whatever! Didn't the London Bridge like fall down or something?

Blair: Nope. It's the real London Bridge

Bethany: You're not going to fool me this time. You think you know everything...

Haha, we know we are complete dorks.

Even though I'm pretty sure he didn't know at that moment that it really was the real London Bridge it turned out that he was right.

I guess in like the '60s some guy that bought Lake Havasu like a millenium ago bought the bridge from London because it couldn't hold up with all the traffic that it was getting daily. Between the purchase, the shipping, and putting the jig-saw puzzle back together it is said that it cost him around 7 million. Holy crap, right?! If I had seven million dollars laying around I probably wouldn't buy a bridge, but I don't own a city or a lake either so it must've been pocket change to the ol' geazer. Anyway, a couple centuries later we were able to enjoy it on Christmas Eve. Here are the shots.
