SOUTH QUEENSFERRY

We drove out to South Queensferry to hike on a trail alongside the Firth with a good view of the bridges. This is  The Forth Bridge, a train bridge built in the 1800's, but it still looks very impressive.

You can see the Queensferry Crossing in the background. We can even see it from near our home.

The village of South Queensferry is very quaint. Unlike Edinburgh, they keep their red phone booth painted!

This is a street in Edinburgh, taken fromt he bus. I thought the clouds were especially pretty. 

With the bin workers on strike, but city is looking pretty dirty!

This is Dumbartin Castle. We stopped to see it when we went on an errand for the mission office, checking out a flat.

We took Aaron out to lunch one day.

Edinburgh by bus is still the best way to see it, even though we can drive again now. Charles had a really hard time passing the driving test. They make it very difficult to get a UK drivier's license.

This is Princes Street Gardens. It was interesting to watch the gardener/artist working on the flower beds. He had to lay on a ladder to keep from stepping on any of the flowers.

Katy keeps us updated with pictures of this little guy, who we haven't met yet. 

She also sent this picture Addy made out of dog fur from their dog haircuts. I think it looks very realistic!

I love this beautiful picture Kelsey sent us from Madelyn's blessing day. I wish we could have been there! I love the setting she chose- at the temple. Very sweet.

Here is the group of indoor kickball players from FHE. I barely escaped serious injury when a ball hit me in the head. Fortunately, I somehow got my arm up in time, but it knocked my fitbit off!
