Bad Weather = Indoor Fun

Bad Weather means that we have to play indoors and we had very wet bad weather on Wednesday so Daddy took me and Lottie to the Science Center again whilst Mummy was at work. I have my own special card with my very own picture on which means that I don't have to give the man any pennies when I go - I get in for free!
The centre is great as there is so much to play and do. We had lunch there and then spent all afternoon there, playing in the water, driving the crane, I was shattered when I we went home.
Yesterday Daddy, me and Lottie went to meet Auntie Leigh for lunch at the McDonalds near where she works. It was a double good thing, seeing Auntie Leigh and going to McDonalds. Then we went to the shops and me and Lottie got a we present - a film called "Gnomeo and Juliet." When Mummy came home of work we had a film night, with popcorn and sweeties and marshmallows.

Glasgow Science Centre



Wow! Yesterday Daddy and Lottie and me had to get out of the house early as Mummy worked a night shift on Friday night and needed her sleep. Daddy had planned that we were going to go on an adventure and he wouldn't tell anyone where we were going to, not even Mummy - which she found most frustrating. Daddy's adventure took us to some funny shaped buildings that I have never been to before to a place called the Glasgow Science Centre.

The Glasgow Science Centre (GSC) is great. Here's some advice though - dress in layers. As you get to play with lots of different things there I found that I got a little hot, then wet, but it was OK because I just peeled a layer off! The GSC has lots of hands-on learning things and some things are very clever. With one thing, in the picture above, I turned on a great big fan which blew over something that looked like the wing of a plane. I then put a little ball at the bottom of the tube under the wing, and the ball magically went up the tube until it flew out at the top!


My favourite thing there is the area where you can play with water. There are boats to play with and water gates, called locks, and pumps and valves - one had a little ball that let the water out when you pressed it in. I loved playing in the water and really should have worn an apron. There was a really nice lady who volunteered to work there who played with the boats with me.
Then we saw a real-life helicopter land next to the river. It was the same helicopter that went flubber-flubber-flubber over Daddy's car on Friday.


Daddy took us all for ham sandwiches and crispies for lunch in the cafe and then we went to play some more. There were tables where you could build with Lego and other toys, there was also some puppets to play with and some tubes that blew some coloured material high into the air. I had a really great time and even had a new big dinosaur from the gift shop.
Last night, me and Daddy and Uncle Chris went to the Ice Hockey and it was good. The Clan beat the Cardiff Devils 3-2 after 40 seconds of over-time and we had been losing 2-0!
