Adventures with Niki and Doug




April 2, 2009
Name. Liam

A couple of weeks ago, my family and I went to Oxford, England to visit my godmother Niki and her husband Doug. We stayed with them for 5 days and we had a great time!
While we were there we went to a park with a merry-go-round; the kind with a wheel that you spin and then jump on. We also ate at a pub called “The White Horse.” I had tomato and basil soup and chase got fish and chips with french fries. Near Niki and Doug’s house is a miniature golf park, not the kind with a windmill or anything. These were simpler. The funniest part was when: I was in the middle of sinking a ball one day when it started pouring rain! We had to run a mile home in the middle of winter! But after the rain stopped, we went for a walk and got a new chess set.
One great thing we did in Oxford was when we went and fed ducks and horses. There was one white and brown horse that let us stroke it and feed it apples and carrots.
We also took a bus to see Queen Elizabeth’s Buckingham Palace for the changing of the guards. Later we went to the London tower. Looking over the wall we saw a catapult and a group of teenagers were being taught how to shoot water balloons at some wood targets. Once inside we saw the bloody tower and torture room.

One night we even went on a ghost tour around Oxford. At the end the guy took out a knife and sliced dad's arm open!!!
Out of everything we did, I had the most fun golfing. Overall we had a great time at Niki and Dougs. Ciao!!

  1. We had so much fun with YOU. Doug and I went back to the park with the golf on a sunny saturday after you left. Remember the pond where we fed those giant swans? There were so many kids there trying to feed the ducks that the whole pond was covered with bread! Those bad ducks were so full they could hardly float!

    Love you boy, and see you soon in Firenze! xoxEvilGodMommy
