Saturday 4th
Our second time away with Josh and Sophia and this time down to Cornwall
and almost as far west as you can get.
Sunday
The Eden Project was one of the main reasons for coming
down to Cornwall and we certainly enjoyed it.
|
|
On the way down to the bio-domes
|
|
|
It was amazing once inside
|
|
|
with plenty to do for the kids
|
|
|
Sophia was getting hot
|
|
|
The air-conditioned room in the dome gave welcome
relief
|
|
It was time for lunch so we set off outside
|
|
They named the sheep but I can't remember what
|
It's funny how you can have a race with someone and not
go anywhere,
only in a child's imagination 😄
|
|
|
|
Aaaah, 15 minutes of peace 😀
|
After lunch, we visited the dinosaur exhibition, Josh was particularly
looking forward to this.
In an outside arena, there was a display by an artist who
wore a dinosaur suit which was really effective. Most of all the
audience were scared. The hairs on mine and Mike's necks were
standing up especially when the 'dinosaur' started sniffing your
hand.
|
|
Sophia started off at the front with Josh
|
|
|
but soon ran back to my arms, I think that Josh was ready to come
back too!
|
Then the dinosaur escaped the arena and 'mayhem' ensued. A
wonderful time.
After that, we went to the archaeological arena
where the children could excavate dinosaur bones and what have, using
all the tools they use.

Pops examining Sophia's find
|
|
|
and what have here?
|
|
|
Time for an ice-cream
|
After that and a suitable rest on the grass, Josh started
rolling down the hill but couldn't quite get it as she kept going in
circles so she ended up trying to roll up hill! The look of
puzzlement on her face. 😕
With that, it was time to back to the caravan which
was 50 miles away. Within a couple of miles, both kids were asleep
and so was I apparently. Back home, it was a quick dinner and an
early night for all of us. It's a very enjoyable but tiring
day.
Tuesday
In the morning, we gave the kids some presents that
we'd brought with us. Sophia had some books, colouring pens and
paper & Josh had a Palaeontology Kit we'd got from Lidl's.
They were both chuffed and we had a bit of a quiet day. Josh
was hammering away at his kit every spare minute that he
had. That was money well spent.
|
|
I braided 5 plaits into Sophia's hair and she loved shaking her
head with them in
|
|
|
All ready for bed
|
Wednesday
We decided to go over to St Michael's Mount today, it was
a bit hazy but we were hopeful the sun would appear. The tide was
out, so we walked over the causeway and no doubt, we'd have to catch the
boat to get back.

After that, we had to queue up for the
boat to take us back to Marazion. We all dinner, showers and a
relax after. Josh and Sophia got the map out on the caravan floor
to see where they had been this week.
|
|
They were chuckling at some of the place names such as
Mousehole or Sally's Bottom
|
|
|
Sophia was soon tiring and reading her books. Time
for bed said Zebedee
|
One other highlight of the week was when Sophia unrolled my Pilates mat
to make herself a red carpet.
