What We've Been Up To...#17

We're running a little behind with posts, but thought we'd carry on from where we left off. Here's what we did over the Easter period...

Tahlia and Jory enjoyed their sponsored bunny hop at playgroup

A fun trip to the National Marine Aquarium

Caught in a net

They all enjoyed looking at the pictures and finding the different sea creatures in the tank

Looking for starfish and crabs with Bumble

Zachary enjoyed some activities with magnets at our local home ed group

Fire engine fun at Hedge


The Hedge group also did an Easter egg hunt with cryptic clues and a big chocolate prize at the end; pictured with their friend Chester

Making a papier mache pinata ready for Easter

We made our own puppet theatre and acted out puppet stories

Here we are at The World of Country Life

Work was continuing on our house to build a loft bedroom

Jory particularly loved the 'tunnel of scaffolding'

Easter crafts with Zoe and Reuben before we headed out on the St Thomas Easter trail

Making chocolate Easter nests at home


Completing the Easter donkey trail at the Donkey Sanctuary (here we are at the centre of the maze)

Everyone pretends they're about to sneeze!

Fighting over the door; one wants it open, the other wants it shut

The stepping stones kept them amused for ages

The Darts Farm Easter trail

Making Easter cards at John Lewis


An Easter treat: dinner at Pizza Express

Jory decided he didn't like any of the food so he was overjoyed when the cake came out

The Paignton Zoo Top Trumps trail - Zachary had to see if his card beat the different animal cards around the zoo.

The Occombe Farm Dinosaur trail


Bird watching at Occombe Farm
