At the Museum...
Yay, we are at the museum now.... We have had a magical day. It all started at the Dinosaur Park, then we went to the secret destination - Santa's grotto at Cadbury world! It was SOOOOOOOO cool. We all got to wrap up Chocolates in boxes for Xmas presents and get our photo with Santa and see all the cool Christmas displays. Then we went to the bird aviaries and played at the gardens. We all got to sing and dance on stage in the bandstand. Now we are at the Museum. We are learning about Pre European Food Gathering.... We can't wait to set up for the night in discovery world..... more later..........
