(only 6 months after we went!)
…
The next morning after some early morning children’s tv watching…
…we went out and had pancakes for breakfast. Look at that face!
We then spent the day at Questacon, a science museum. Monster’s favourite part was the Mini Q section, which we had to get timed tickets for as it was school holidays. It was split into different activity areas. Some of his favourite area were the building section, …
… the water activity section, …
… and the vet role play section.
The thing that fascinated him most though was a display in the entrance hall with balls that rolled around a marble run.
We finished the day with his favourite dinner – nice rice!
We had a good holiday 🙂
We could see our hotel from the top of the tower!
The tower is a telecom tower.
This is Monster doing an impersonation of the tower whist waiting for the bus back to the hotel!
We saw lots and lots of models. They were very realistic. This is us on our way into the house whose gardens house the models…
… and this is the first model in the garden, of their house.
There were models of famous landmarks, like Stonehenge, …
… places that were familiar, like the house in the clouds …
… and other (somewhat stereotypical) sights from around the UK like a church wedding (spot the Grim Reaper in the graveyard), ….
… a country house, …
… and bin day on a council estate!
There were also some unusual sights if you were looking closely, like the man in a mask with a chainsaw raised above his head…
… and the UFO that had landed in order to use the public toilets!
Monster’s favourite part was the model trains with their buttons that made them move around the track.
He would quite happily have stayed and played with the trains all day!
We let him choose where to go for tea. He chose his favourite: nice rice!
On our first full day we visited the Mint and looked around the centre. Monster took a liking to this sheep!
He made his own pirate flag at one of the craft tables and then found a glockenspiel to play with in the pirate tent:
He caught some magnetic fish before going out to play in the water fountains outside:
There were slightly warmer days when Monster chose his own oufits – his trousers that Mummy made (that are nearly too small now), a shirt, his green hat and shoes, and his Mr Tumble spotty bag:
And then it got hot again and we were back in shorts and t-shirt:
And we went to the zoo. He wore the new shirt he got for Christmas and his sunglasses – a real cool dude!
Monster was eager to try out the binoculars he bought with the Christmas money he received from Grandad – he looks a proper little explorer!
Father Christmas was there too along with his reindeer and elves:
The Wiggles sang lots of songs that we knew:
There were big smiles all the way through:
Henry the Octopus sang Jingle Bells in octopus language:
Monster insisted I take a photo of Murray in his muscle suit for the ‘Strong’ song:
Captain Feathersword is one of our favourites:
Along with Dorothy the Dinosaur:
We had a great time 🙂
