The Things were on great form, and when we arrived at Eureka! they made a beeline for the kiddie size shops and bank; they first went to the bank; withdrew some Eureka! Cash; Thing 1 was gutted that he didn't receive his card back ... And then they tried to break into the safes in the bank... Way to go, Eureka! Teaching my Three Things to try to rob banks.....
Following that, they headed into the kiddy size M&S.Thing 3 squealed in delight, and ran.... toward a pretend apple, made of plastic... which she promptly tried to eat. Failing this, she tried to eat another piece of plastic food, then another and another; much to the amusement of a number of other visitors.
They played in the water play and delighted in dressing up to perform a play. Thing 1 ran from one side of the 'stage' in a knight's tabard shouting 'I'm a knight!' And then flinging a purple cape over himself for the run back to the other side, this time shoutimg; 'I'm a wizard!' .... this went on a few minutes; 'im a wizard, im a knight, im a wizard....' .
In the desert area, Thing 3 discovered a model coyote, which she insisted was a "doggy" and didn't want to leave.
We explored the 'about me' area, where there was a model of a mum to be lay down and an ultrasound scanner. Thing 1 was in chare of scanning, me and the girl Things were watching the screen.
"Look girls, can you see the baby on the screen?' I asked as the scan came on....only to hear a happy Thing 1 announcing; 'haha, im scanning her head!' and I indeed did turn to see a grinning Thing 1 who was indeed scanning the mum to be's head. That took some explaining to the girls....
We played in a giant garden, ate dinner on a train. Chatted with a demented clown and bought a bumbag. Oh, and we ate ice cream!
It was great! Roll on the rest of the summer hols!
