London---Day1 Part2 by Martha

A SPECIAL TREAT AT THE RAINFOREST CAFE

Daddy surprised me with dinner at the Rainforest cafe.  We told them this trip was my birthday treat.

This is me waiting for my food, wearing my birthday sticker.

There were lots of animals around the restaurant, here I am with the gorilla.

This mask was in my activity pack.

London--Day 1 Part 1 By Martha

The Science Museum and Natural History Museum

After an early start and a long bus journey Daddy and I arrived at our hotel but our rooms weren't ready. So we went to the nearest underground and rode it to the Science Museum and Natural History Museum.

It was fun and interesting.  We joined in interactive touch screens and demonstrations.

Here I am in space this summer.

Here I am outside the Science Museum

This is me at the Natural History Museum next to a snowy seal.

The Big Blue Whale is giant!

Scrapbooking and stuff

It must be about a year since I started this blog.

One of my first post was about scrapbooking I think.  Well today I decided to finish off a few pages I had started.  I couldn't resist posting these photos of the kids in Florida last year.

I found some great photos in the attic too so I managed a few other pages and have plenty more to work on.

Martha and Calvin are in London for the weekend and when they eventually called me at 9.45 tonight they were full of stories about the adventures.  Can't wait to fill you all in on the blog next week.

Just had to show you this

This was a couple of weeks ago.  We looked after Lily and Bella for the day.

I decided cupcakes would keep us amused for an hour.

After a few mishaps at the beginning we managed to shop for the sprinkles and cases,

bake and decorate our cakes.  

Martha was a great help in helping the girls take turns to decorate.

We had a great day!

Clowning Around

Grandad took Martha to the circus, she had never been before, she loved it! 

She went to buy a spinning plate and came back looking like this!

Caernarfon Castle

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair

On the left we have..........something to do with Prince Charles!!

Watch where you are pointing that thing!!

Thursday

Most of us visited "Electric Mountain" which is a fascinating tour of a pumped storage power station built inside a mountain on the site of an old slate quarry.

Grandad doesn't do underground (or heights, or bridges, or lifts etc etc)

so he went fishing (he even wears his life jacket for that!) 

We then finished off the slate museum which we started on Tuesday morning while Ross supervised Grandad.

He only caught one thing all day and that was a Bicycle!!!
