Opa and Grandma come to Cambridge

This past week, Mike's parents, Opa & Grandma came to visit.  The kids were so excited.  We spent the morning before their arrival picking blackberries.  We picked around 4 lbs altogether and made them a cobbler for after dinner and fresh blackberry jam for their scones in the morning.

    

We took them for lunch in the Orchard:

      
     
     

We also took them to Hedingham Castle.  It was also a Norman castle, built around 1140.
     

       

     

     

John's quote:  "Mommy, what happened to the poor little bunny?"  If you can see in the background, the bunny is being sawed in two pieces for cooking.  Once again, these British castles show what life was really like before the modern grocery store.
    

This morning, they headed on to France to visit the beaches at Normandy.  They left behind some sad grandkids!
