We went to the Church of England yesterday. Before you think that we're switching teams, we had an ulterior motive. Daddy has a friend at work that goes to the Church of England. They made a deal: if we go to his church then he'll come to ours. Yesterday, we went to his church.
David's church is in an old building that was originally built in the 1400s, although it's been rebuilt since then. The sermon was about whether children should be allowed to take communion. Actually, it was more a matter of the vicar (the priest) trying to convince the congregation that it was a good idea. Afterwards, they took sort of a straw poll to see how everyone felt about it.
After church, David invited us to his house for lunch. He has a great house with a beautiful garden (garden = yard for you yankees). Here's a picture of the swing in his rear garden.
After lunch, David had a bunch of other friends from his church over for an Easter egg hunt. All the adults hid the Easter eggs and then we kids got to find them. I found a lot.
All in all, it was a really fun day. When we got home, Daddy asked me if I noticed anything different about David's church.
"The sacrament table," I said.
He was impressed at my astuteness. "Anything else?" he asked.
"The sacrament," I said, acknowledging that they hadn't passed it around. Daddy said I'm a smart kid.

It doesn't get more idyllic than that picture. The lighting, the cute girls...what a perfect moment captured.
