"I don't like dinosaurs"

Since going to the zoo this week, Isla has been continually telling us that she doesn't like dinosaurs. That is because they have brought the large animatronic dinosaurs back to the zoo so it is a bit like a visit to Jurassic Park with all the loud dinosaur noises going on. She does like playing with small toy dinosaurs at pre-school, it's just the huge life size noisy ones that are a bit scary!

Here are some photos from the zoo. We saw two very cute lion cubs who played with each other a lot. Also lots of snakes, alligators, penguins etc. We were lucky to see some atlas moths in the butterfly house. I forgot the camera so we didn't get that many photos.

Earlier in the week Isla got up to all sorts of stuff. She did some drawings, then hunted for wiggly worms in the garden!

We baked some little chocolate cakes again and went crazy with the hundreds and thousands and chocolate drops:

We found some cardboard boxes to make into a castle, which will appear when we've finished painting it! Isla liked hiding in the box though:

We went to Ikea for lunch (yes we had the meat balls) and to buy a little wardrobe and came out of the shop with a toy kitchen and tent as well as the wardrobe! Isla helped her dad to 'fix things' by putting the kitchen and wardrobe together.

Hiding in her tent this morning with Molly mouse and "eating" some blue cakes (actually wardrobe feet  that we don't need) that she baked in her little kitchen:

Looking out for the bin truck this morning:
