Half Term – Wednesday

There was a school assembly this morning in Dan’s bedroom – Em & Josh were members of the teaching staff and their teddies took on the parts of the children, some of whom had been good and had been given tickets. Daniel was a guest speaker for assembly – he was a guitar playing Berbatov, whose English is tremendous!

At 10am the Mummy Bus left our house for todays trip to Liverpool, where we were planning on going to Under Water Street but had to change our plans as when we arrived at 11am it was already full and as it was very very cold we didn’t want to queue up to go in for 2 or 3 hours, so Mummy (Alli) made an emergency call to Auntie Beverly and asked her what else there was that we could do in Liverpool and she suggested that we should go to the Liverpool Museum so as we had enjoyed ourselves at Manchester Museum yesterday we decided that this would be a good idea so we set off to the Museum and 20 minutes later we arrived with very cold hands, feet and noses which were soon forgotten about when we walked into the foyer of the Museum and saw a huge pterodactyl skeleton hanging from the ceiling.

Liverpool Museum also had lots of interesting things to look at but we all decided that the best parts of the day had been when we had been in the natural history section of the museum and got to actually touch the skulls of a giraffe, elephant and hippopotamus and we all held an elephant’s tooth that was so heavy it made Emilie’s knees bend and when we watched the leaf cutter ants carrying their bits of leaf along a very long piece of rope suspended from the ceiling to their nest.

We spent 4 hours looking at all the things in the museum and we really do have very full brains now, so much so that Josh & Emilie fell asleep in the car on the way home and when we got home they sat quietly reading and colouring until we went out to meet Daddy (Tim) at the Olive Press when he finished work so that we could all have a meal together before we had to sadly say “Goodbye” to Josh as he was going to his Mummy’s for the rest of the holidays, we hope he has a lot of fun for the next few days.
