Went to the Charlie and Lola exhibition today and it was completely Brilliant! We spent about 2 hours immersed in Lauren Child's imagination. The girls did an amazing puppet show for me (wished I'd took the camera). They also watched 'I will Never not Ever eat a tomato' over and over and I enjoyed being served pink milk in Lola's kitchen. The gingerbread house was cool although S wanted me to get in it and I completely did Not fit! Me and J tried a Dragon costume on which was hilarious as it had an incredibly big head that just lolled about in front of your vision and you couldn't see where you were going! I nearly wet myself when J got stuck in it and had a moments panic when she couldn't get her arm out and she couldn't see! lol
Got a bit annoyed that we couldn't eat our sandwiches in the upstairs area because school groups using it, staff thought it would be ok for me to sit in the foyer *cough* erm don't think so, we went in the cafe and ate our own lunch, my face daring anyone to tell us not to consume our own food.
Shame about the bee colony apparently this phenomenon is happening all over the world http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony_Collapse_Disorder .
We watched several ants saying good morning to each other as they passed on their way to and from food, S found this really funny how the ants seem to shake hands!
Then we came across an activity we hadn't seen before 'create a creature' they could choose body size, legs, wings scales etc to create a creature on the computer screen then see it come out on a separate larger screen. S created 'swimdoc' which was a strange mix of water reptile with feathers and fins! J created 'Dragon' which was a plant eating bird like creature with spikes and stripes! it was great fun they made a few more but I can't remember the weird and wonderful names.
After a play in the Attercliffe Butchers shop and Park Hill dolls house we had time for one last go in the Charlie and Lola area before heading back to the bus stop.
