What We've Been Up To: #10

Here are some highlights of the last few weeks...

We were sad to say goodbye to our old uni friends, Berni and Nico as they venture out to live in Australia with their young family. They hosted a lovely goodbye party with an amazing BBQ and the kids all had a wonderful time playing in the garden.

Jory makes the most of the swing

Fantastic BBQ food

Playing ball was another highlight for the kids (especially when a little dog showed up to play too!)

Swing ball 

Jumping as far as they can with Auntie Vickrum

The farewell party
Weeee!

Goodbye van der Merwes, you'll be sorely missed!

Here's a recent visit to Living Coasts in Torquay, which houses all sorts of British coastal animals:

Competition time: which sea bird eats which food?

Looking for swimming penguins with Bumble

Matching the bird body parts

Spot the seal

An amazing projected landscape which changed when you moved the sand around to create islands 

Playing trains
At the HALF group, we had a go at making a few things...
Savoury cake decorating

Scary mask making

Tasty lunches
 We had a lovely family BBQ and enjoyed meeting Auntie Jelena's mum from Lithuania...

The kids loved playing with her and didn't even notice she spoke no English!

 Here are a few other things we've been up to recently...

Working out which insects are male/female at the Exeter museum

Fun at our weekly Bash 'n' Bang group
Playing and browsing in the Exeter library

Harvest lunch at church

Making chocolate crispy cakes



No spare box is too small
Puzzling over this tricky wooden jigsaw (before we give it away)

Hanging 'things to be thankful for' on the tree at the FAB club meal, Belmont Chapel


The great thing about having a season ticket for Paignton Zoo is that it's so large, every visit is different!
Jory made it across the wobbly bridge

More bridges in the little ones' woodland walk

Checking out the sleepy lions

Watching the orangutans doing some gymnastics 
Here we are at Darts Farm in the sunshine. They have upgraded their playground so we made the most of it (they also have a maize maze)... 

Tahlia can just about reach!


Silly photo grin
Another week at HALF group and we had fun making and decorating star biscuits (the current theme is night)

Bath time always brings us closer together

Tahlia and Zachary made a baby cage to stop him turning off the computer!
