Jamie's brother, Lee got married in July so we decided to go out to Wales for the wedding. Gwen was lucky enough to be a bridesmaid (flower girl)! It was Gwen's second time there but Evan's first. The flight was the part I dreaded - 9 hours with a little boy who NEVER sits still - yikes! It actually turned out not too bad. Both Gwen and Evan handled it quite well and the flight went by reasonably fast.
We had a great time on our trip. The wedding was lovely and miss Gwendolyn was a total pro bridesmaid. It was like she has done it a million times before! She even practiced her smile for all the photos :) The reception was at an old house in the country which was beautiful and really interesting. Gwen liked the old stairs and there was even a secret room in the floorboards which seemed right out of Harry Potter. During Lee's speech, he thanked the bridesmaids and held Gwen up for everyone to see. She told me later that was her favourite part.
We took the kids to Barry Island so see a real beach (first time for both!) and there was also rides for little kids and Gwen loved that. We had to take Gwen to at least one castle out there since she loves princesses and castles. I remembered one that Jamie had taken me to - Castle Coch. It is all decorated with furniture so I knew Gwen would like that one. We had a good visit with everyone - even got to see Jamie's Nan quite a few times.
Jamie's mom, Lesley, had gotten everything ready for our stay with her. Gwen had her own little room with a pink bed and a castle nightlight from Nigel's shop! She loved it. I wish I had taken a photo of her in her room :( Lesley even got a bike for Gwen - she had a great time on it and wanted to take it home!
It was a great trip - went by way too fast of course though.
