Return to the Forbidden Planet

Here are a few pictures of the show I was just in 'Return to the Forbidden Planet'.  I played Gloria the science officer - great show, great part :-)

Sunsets

Such a beautiful sunset today - Holly went outside to take some pictures. 

Chefs

Holly decided to cook chicken fajitas today and enlisted the help of young budding chef Christopher.  Setting the table was entirely Christopher's responsibility :-)

Chefs at the ready!

Tools at the ready....

Down to business

"Now mum, you have to stand behind me and take a picture of me then everyone can see me whisking in my bowl"

Height difficulties overcome...

Nearly done!

Christopher sets the table...

Easter Egg Hunt

As old as our kids are, they still wanted an Easter Egg Hunt.  Adrian decided to go all out and have the best yet!  As he spent most of the day getting it all organised....there was much anticipation!

Eagerly awaiting first instructions.  Obviously scarves were necessary!  They were also told they might get messy hence the strange attire!

Holly sports the 'Holly Cam' for action sequences!  If I can work out how to put video on this site, I might upload some :-)

Alex does the first 'feely bag' challenge to find the first clue.  It was a bag of congealed blood (condensed milk).

The 'French Mime Stuck in a Lift Challenge' - Nana judges Christopher to be the winner.

Adrian explains the 'hook' challenge.  The clue must be passed from hook to hook until it reaches the table.

Christopher is really not too impressed with his feely bag challenge - a bag of eyeballs to sort through to find the clue (lychees in syrup)

Christopher refused to go any further with his feely bag challnege - nana had to take over!



Holly's feely bag challenge - frogspawn (baked beans!)

How many maltesers can you move from one bowl to the other in the time given???

Plasticene - model your hero out of plasticene.  Holly modelled Harry Stiles (from One Direction), Christopher modelled an aeroplane....Alex modelled Albert Einstein...!



The next clue is hidden inside one of the balloons...but which one?  And who will do the popping?

Hurray - they found the chocolate!  Well done Adrian - fab treasure hunt this year :-)



Rainy Day

So after all our lovely blue sky weather, the heavens opened today.  Proper jungle rain - myself and Adrian got caught in it while out and about.  It's the sort of rain that soaks you to the skin in three seconds.  So a day of board games, crosswords and blogging :0)

With any luck, we'll have a better day tomorrow!

Beautiful Day

Lovely relaxing day today, spent a while down at the Panaga Club by the pool relaxing, swimming and basically chilling out...

It was a really hot day, not a cloud in the sky or another swimmer in the pool... Mum seemed to enjoy relaxing by the water although it did get a little hot....I have red shoulders to prove it!

Pampering

So, me and mum decided to try foot reflexology today...what a treat!  One hour of pure relaxation :-)

Will definitely be going back to sample this again!
