June 11th
Despite the adults being a little grumpy, the kids were great on plane. It would be a lie to say that seven hours went by in a flash, but the time did pass quickly. We arrived in London without any major meltdowns from the kids (though the adults had a few).
We walked towards Customs and found ourselves last in a very long line of probably 100 people. Fortunately, there was a large open area behind the weaving ropes and we decided it best to let the kids burn off some pent-up energy. Despite library-like silence as examiners carefully looked for hardened criminals trying to enter the UK, we decided to play some games.
Coincidentally, it was just after Liam said "I know, let's play tackle it-tag" that a guard kindly escorted us to the front of the line. If you thought we were getting some looks playing tag, you should have seen the burning stares as we bypassed the wait. Needless to say, we didn't make any new friends in the UK and won't be going back :-)
