Emilie goes to see The Mr Men

This afternoon was a treat for Emilie as she went to see The Mr Men show in Manchester with Matthew, her friend, Mummy, Auntie Nicola, Uncle Steve and Laurie. Josh was supposed to come with us but he isn’t with us this weekend and we are missing him – it is very quiet!!

We picked Matthew up and drove into Manchester were we met Auntie Nicola, Uncle Steve and Laurie. Emilie, Matthew and Laurie were very excited about seeing the Mr Men and eagerly awaited their arrival on stage.

The curtain went up and Emilie, Matthew and Laurie were jumping up and down and shouting hurray along with a couple of hundred other children!

The Mr Men were having their last day of school before holidays and it was Sports Day. We saw Mr Happy, Mr Small, Mr Bump, Little Miss Naughty, Little Miss Tiny and Mr Tickle’s very long arms!

The school teacher, Mrs Chalk, and the baker, Mrs Crumb, told us all about eating healthy and doing exercise so that we stay fit – it was a really good show and our favourite bits were Mr Bump saying “Sorry” all the time for bumping into everything and everyone and when Little Miss Naughty won the egg and spoon race but Mrs Chalk found out she had cheated by sticking her egg to the spoon.

Unfortunately Uncle Steve and Laurie had to leave the show early as the noise was frightening Laurie – but Auntie Nicola stayed with us to watch the rest of the show.

In the hour and half of the performance Emilie and Matthew managed to dance, sing and consume hula hoops, jammy dodgers and chocolate buttoms!

When the show finished Mummy bought us both a Mr Tickle book so that we could remember the show.

We had a nice afternoon.
