A 'DAY' at the museum.

For Finn's birthday we made a short trip

into Manchester to visit the museum.

I thought you may like to come along too,

I'll try not to say much as there are rather a lot of photos.

Little brother Jacob excited at the station,

for the first of many forms of transport.

Trains,

Trams,

Double decker buses, which,

of course,

we had to sit up top on

AND at the very front to pretend we were driving.

Awesome dinos!

In true PANTO style...

IT'S BEHIND YOUUUUUU.....!

Ancient Egyptions, FAB!

Shhhhh.....stand still!

Mummy will think we're Mummies!

'Mummy!  Look!  Mummy!'

'Mum, can we have one?'

'Erm...no.'

'Mummy, can we have one?'

'Erm....NO!'

'Mum, can we....?'

'Nope.'

'Can we get...'

'NO!!'

Now listen here you Foxy Loxy...

You come near our Henny Penny

and you'll regret it PAL!!!

Soooo cute...

PENQUINS!

References to CLUB PENQUIN and puffles

were a plenty!

(those with children of a similar age will understand!)

Whats so interesting in there chaps?

Oh I might have known!!!

POO!

'Why is our nature table not this tidy Mum?'

'Maybe because you insist on weird and strange things

being placed on it, that's why!'

I mean...rusty nails that they have dug up out of the garden....

like that's nature, right?!

This is where we were at...

....and then home, for 2 very tired boys

to put on their new matching fleecy jimmy jams

to snuggle up...  

and watch...

...this of course!

Hope you enjoyed coming with us.

Love Claire.

P.S.  Halloween Birthday party to follow soon.
