Big Kids in a Candy Store

In the spirit of Easter, Ashley, Sarah and I went to a toy store. Hamleys is the FAO Schwartz of London. It's five stories and filled with anything you could want. There's even a Build-A-Bear inside. I think the three of us had more fun there than some of the kids.  

There was a really great Lego section. But Legos aren't really my thing.

Sarah owned Guitar Hero. She and got the high score. Ashley and I were endlessly impressed.

There was a display of moving wooden figures, which I thought was really cool. I

loved the piano player. 

Our main objective of the day was to get candy. I found jelly bellies and was really happy. I really wanted to find marshmallow peeps, but I guess that's just not something they have here in London.

There was a fabulous hat section on the girls floor. I also had my nails done, sort of, while I was there. A woman demonstrated nail pens on my nails. I'm so posh now.

There was also a big Hello Kitty section. Ashley was pretty excited about that. We found a cute Hello Kitty mug and bought it for Jenny. She's done so much for us that really it was the least we could do.

I think my favourite part was the Narnia displays in the stairs. I got really excited about it. They even had props from the movie there.

 

Although, I did really like the section of puzzles and chess boards and mancala boards too. Sarah pointed out, "You are such a nerd." I've never denied it. :)
