Museum Fun

When it's raining in Manchester - AGAIN & the thought of another soft play centre trip makes Mummy's insides shudder it's time to explore the city centre & grab Grandpa to head to the Art gallery

Arriving at the gallery - up the ramp!

A great floor for dancing


" Wow Mummy - glass lifts!"
In fact lifts in general definitely formed one of the highlights of the whole day


"Going up!"



Running off to explore


Making "tea" from the still life exhibits


"Mmm cheers!"


Helping Grandpa draw an apple



Some serious art work happening here with crayons :)



"Where next Mummy?!"



The best thing to look at in the gallery - a Gabriel still life



Time to construct & de-construct the glass tubes



Chariot racing! Mummy vs Grandpa - Mummy won :)



A Gabriel in mirrors

After an exhausting morning of art then shaking Grandpa down for cakes, coffees & fruit shoots Master G fell sound asleep in his buggy & Mummy got to enjoy a very civilised lunch at Waterstones while Grandad went to speak French to French people!



Just time for some George Pig hustling in the children's department






And then it was time for a wet & wild run back to the tram & train for a tired but cultured Mummy & Gabey. Sadly no pictures from all our trains & tram excitement as we were too busy saying choo choo & clinging onto Mummy on the real train experience :)

A great day & much more fun than soft play! But we did need a Peppa Pig chill out on our return



And of course a play on the baby swing :)



Next adventure- Manchester museum & the Dinosaurs!
