What We've Been Up To...#12

Over the second half of October, we enjoyed having Grandma Jeanette and Grandad Harry come to stay. Here are some of the highlights...

We'd never been to Killerton before; the kids had fun exploring the grounds

Tahlia dresses up as a suffragette fairy

Gorgeous views, but a very cold day

A tipping swing - they struggled to stay on it

A trip to Bull Meadow playground; the aerial runway is Jory's favourite

Firing the cannon outside Custom House Visitor Centre at the Quay

Flying high at Darts Farm

Too exhausted for words

Tahlia loved looking closely at rocks at the Museum of Dartmoor Life in Okehampton; they also had a great letterbox trail

Making mosaics

At the Belmont 'Light and Bright' party, Tahlia was the best at finding hidden stars

Jory hoards the glow sticks

A special party treat: sparklers!

Craft time: decorating stars

St Thomas Baptist had its annual Narnia Exhibition: the entire church was redecorated as the enchanting land, with various characters to meet along the way who talked you through the story from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

Entering the wardrobe
The first character we stumbled upon: Mr Tumnus

Stroking Aslan's mane

Mrs Fox tells us about Narnia


Outside Mr & Mrs Beaver's house

Mrs Beaver reads about Aslan

The station master concludes the journey

Relaxing at home afterwards

Having a ride at the Exeter Arena fireworks display

Waving our own sparklers at home

It was Mummy's birthday on the 7th November and she had lots of help to unwrap her presents...

Daddy made her this beautiful card

We visited Tiverton Museum - Zachary loved learning how to add up old money using the abacus

A much needed rest and a chat on the phone

Watching the mechanical parts of a mill in action

Bumble and Tahlia weigh their ingredients

They're looking at the big steam train nearby

Jory pulls the chain for the whistle

Another birthday treat: a chocolate orange cake

Yet another birthday treat: Mummy and Daddy went out for a tasty meal at one of their favourite restaurants: Oddfellows, in Exeter
