Feeding Speedy!

Today I got to hand feed Speedy for the first time.  Geckos have to be really tame and happy with their owner before they will eat from your hands so I am really pleased! He is so cute!!!!

Today I had an amazing muddy afternoon with my friends from school.

 

We got to climb over obstacles and wade across a pond. We all got really muddy and it was great fun!

safari park

Today Mummy took me to the West Midlands Safari park. It was really near to where Grandad Dennis did his train driving.

These birds are loreketes and they are really pushy to get food off you but they are beautiful. Mummy had one shouting loudly down her ear for food and I told it off as there was a sign saying no shouting allowed!  One of them weed on my arm which was gross.

This is Callum, he is the cutest sealion ever! I loved his show so much I went twice. He did tricks like jumping out of the water and catching hoops but I loved his impression of how a seal moves on the beach the best.  I would love to get to feed him for my birthday next year.

There were loads of fun rides there too and I made a friend names Kane and we went on all the ride together, which is helpful when Mummy is too scared to go on the big rides.

They also have dinosaurs than move and roar alot.  There was a baby velociraptor called Reggie that I liked best.  This is me running away from the huge TRex before it roared again as it was very scary.

It was an awesome place and we saw giraffes, white lions and tigers, zebras, cheetahs, rhinos, hippos, camels, elephants AND A BABY ELEPHANT!!  The safari animals were not too hungry when we went to see then in the evening and I was sad not to get to feed a giraffe but I did feed an ostrich and that was pretty terrifying when it’s head was exploring about inside our car!

crocodiles

Today I went to the Crocodiles Of The World zoo near Oxford with my friend. It was brilliant fun.

This is a 2 year old American Alligator that I was allowed to stroke. They don’t know if it is male or female yet and it’s name is 291.

We watched 35 young Nile Crocodiles being fed and it was really interesting.  This is a link to the video.

The crocodile zoo is making a new building where they will all live when they are bigger.

 

There were other animals too like Meerkats and Otters. There was a huge Reticulated Python which I learnt is the worlds longest snake but the Anaconda is heavier.

 

This sign was funny

And this one was funny too. This is my cuddle crocodile who came with us. He used to be a hot water bottle but now he is just a cuddly toy.

strawberry smoothie

Today I decided to make a strawberry smoothie.  To do this you need a banana, some strawberries and apple juice.

It was very yummy!

Joseph

Today was an exciting day because it was dress rehearsal day for Joseph and we got to perform the show twice!  I was very nervous but it was brilliant fun and I am very sad it is over now. My costume was a bit baggy and hot but I got a cool beard drawn on my face and it was difficult to wash off!

DSC02517Here are the brothers in costume. Mrs Rumsby did  a pony tail for me and sprayed me with hair spray that Mummy said smelled lovely.

My Grandad the train driver

Today my Grandad Dennis drove a real steam train. I got to go in the carriage which was very old and interesting with Granny, Grandad Bob, Uncle Jon, Aunty Katrin and Mummy. Grandad Dennis wore overalls and a train drivers hat. He said it was difficult to drive the train and hard to stay standing!

This is the train he drove!

My first trip to accident and emergency

Today I went  to A&E in Banbury. Last week I trod on a bee and my little toe was stung. I was sad because that means the bee will die. My foot started hurting lots 2 days ago and today it was still red and hot and hurt. Mummy took me to A&E as she thought it was infected with bacteria and I needed medicine to cure it. At A&E I had to wait  along time but luckily I had a new Daisy book to read. I saw an old lady come into hospital in an ambulance.  When I saw the nurse she drew on my foot and gave me a cool sparkly badge for being brave. I made her a loom band bracelet. Mummy took me to the shop to buy medicine and I was allowed to eat crisps on the way home.

DSC02310my foot looks much better in this picture and you can see the pen the nurse drew on me!

Summer Music concert

Today I played in my school summer music concert at the church.  I played my recorder, guitar and sang in the choir. Mummy said it was the best the choir had ever sung. I will be sad their is no choir during the holidays.  It was sad because Rhys will not be our guitar teacher anymore because he is going to be a class teacher now.  I made him a hama bead guitar and my guitar group made him a goodbye card too.

This is me playing recorder. It was the Ning Nang Nong!
