Do You Take Requests?

After brunch at Jeff's, we headed out to Luton, where Kyle had business meetings. After one day there, I decided to jump on the express train back into London with the kids (sorry, Luton, no offense, but I couldn't spend another day at your "mall"). 

It was sort of a birthday theme...Kyle's birthday shopping was complete after a visit to Thomas Pink in St. Pancras International Station:

And then we hopped in a taxi and headed to the world famous Harrods Department Store. Since it was Sage's birthday (and very close to Evy's, Sophie's and Heather's birthdays), we asked the little duo outside Harrods if they took requests. YES, we can play Happy Birthday to You!

The girls tried to get Nathan to sing along to Happy Birthday, but he was too shy. Afterwards, they were nice enough to pose for a picture. I tried to get this on video on my iphone to send a birthday greeting to Sage, but I looked down and saw "not enough storage to record video." Epic Fail.

We were all a bit "hangry" (hungry enough to be angry), and what do you know, right next to the very beautiful Georgian Restaurant, Harrods has a Disney Cafe just for kids. Sold. 

A hangry Nathan is no fun

Feeling better after a little lunch

We bought some Christmas ornaments and chocolates and perused the expansive toy displays. Wow...this store is really something. We took The Tube back to St. Pancras Station right around rush hour, and then caught the train back to Luton and waited for Kyle with a well deserved beer. Cheers!

This guy did not take requests, but Nate was on a roll ;-)

"Momma, there are a lot of people on this train."
(and thank you to the young man who gave us his seat!)
