The Spider Moves

There is a new exhibit at the National Museum called Plantastic. However when I first read it out-loud to Chaplin i said 'Plantplastic" So he now thinks this exhibit is about plastic plants! We've been a few times this week and it's really good, and most of the interactive displays are plastic, and about plants.


This was one of his favorite displays, a carved out hill with little windows inside that you can see into bunny holes and mole holes. There is something about digging in the earth that children and grown men like... Adam has said that if he wins the lottery he would buy a back-hoe and dig himself a big hole, and Sheri said "Troy does it without having won the lottery! I catch him out in the yard just digging holes for no reason."


This was part of the bug exhibit on the same floor as the Plasticplant exhibit.
Chaplin ran into the room and laid down in the middle of the web and looked up at the spider on the roof above the web... then the spider moved and Chaplin leap from the floor web into my arms in about 1 second flat!


"ohh dark blue butterflies."

Sun setting.

Pointer tips for parents:
If you go to John Lewis in Liverpool One - go directly to the third floor and borrow this scooter!
Chaplin zig zagged his way through one full hour of browsing.

  1. Lori, you won't believe how much I enjoy your blogs. They are fantastic. I think you should just keep doing it, even after you get back to Canada.
