I apologise for taking so long to write a blog this time, we have had such a busy summer so far!

The weather has been lovely, although it changes a lot, as i am writing this it is raining and i can hear thunder but yesterday was so hot that it was hard to be outside for too long. For the most part it is very nice and we have a great pool at our apartment that we go in often, i will post some pictures for you to see! :)

Lucy and I just spent a week in Florida wrestling with some of our friends, its a great trip even though it takes about 15 hours to drive there!!!

We’re still baking lots, this week we made some delicious brownies from a brand of chocolate over here, we’ve had some disasters with our own brownies but these came out perfect…i will have to bring a box back! :)

Some exciting news for those of you who watch WWE, lucy and i went to there shows when they came to Louisville a few weeks back and we got to meet quite a few of the wrestlers like John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Kane, The Big Show, Edge and many more…still no Undertaker though Jake! :p It was a great experience! :)

Our family are coming for a visit this week which i am really looking forward to, we have lots of places to take them too so its going to be another busy week!

I hope you are all having a fantastic summer and i will see you all soon!

Lots of Love

Kelly

On Tuesday we were very excited. Everyone had a little group. We got on the coach and sat down for an hour. We were all very good. We played some games like ‘Rock, paper, scissors’ and we sang some pirate songs. Rosie went to sleep!

When we got there we played in the sandpit while Ms Hawker got the tickets. We went to look at ’Me and my Body’, ‘The Town Square’ and ‘Our Global Garden’ because those are the things we’ve been learning this year. We met ‘Scoot’ the robot and ‘Zid’ the alien.We robbed the bank, went down the Magic Corridor, and built an igloo in the ice garden.  We all loved the body exhibition. We saw a heart beating. We saw how far we could stretch. We looked at blood. We shouted in a giant ear and sat in a giant mouth and found the wobbly tooth. We found how tall we were and how heavy and we saw a skeleton riding a bike and it was our skeleton!

We had a brilliant time! We went back on the coach to school and it was hometime. We said ”Thankyou’ to the peaple who helped us: Mrs. Osborne, Mrs. Stanley, Rosie, Ben, Miss Thami, Hannah, Grace Woosey’s mum, Henry’s mum, Chris’topher’s mum and Sam’s mum. We were still tired the next day in the morning!

In the photos, 3 children give you a guided tour of the galleries!
