The McKenzie’s Blog…

Yesterday I took a walk around part of Grafham Water, however my GPS logging of the walk didn’t really pan out.  Some have considered to be a pretty great and impressive person, but even I can’t walk on water, I don’t consider that a failing though because I like to swim, and well it tough to do when you can’t get past the surface

Anyhow, I took a load of pics which you can see if you CLICK HERE.  Some samples of the pics.

Today I took the girls to Welcome to Wild Britain - Bedfordshire’s Butterfly and Conservation Park.

Yuki was working and I needed to get out of the house today with the girls, so I decided to take the to this park.  We’d talked about it for a while but today was the day.

You can see the photos from the Flickr Gallery.

The girls had a great time.. they even did some crafts there too.. they painted some paper butterflies, they did some drawing and coloured in a small bit of paper that was then pressed into a badge with a pin in the back to put on their clothes.

On June 26 Lisa’s pre-school, Ladybird Pre-School, had a day out at Wicken Fen.  This is a National Trust owned Nature Reserve near Cambridge.

The weather couldn’t have been better for the day.. it was a little overcast, but that kept the heat down which was good.

I’m going to try and keep a log of my various walks and travels, as recorded by the GPS in my phone.

I’ve been busy uploading photos to the new gallery.   The other I uploaded and geotagged nearly 1000 pictures from our time in Antigua.  Check them out.

I am, right now, uploading some pictures taken today from around Cambridge and London.

I’ve also added a link to the new gallery in the middle sidebar to the right.

Today was the first of two visits that Lisa will make to the Cottenham Primary School.  The kids from Pre-Schools around the area went today for their first of two orientation days at the “big” school.  They get to meet their teachers, see their new classrooms and meet the other kids that will join them.

We were given a form to fill out where they asked us to list 3-5 other kids that Lisa would like to have in her class with her.  Lisa was lucky and all of her friends were put in the same class.

Today is Father’s Day.  First, we went to Ladybirds Pre-School for the Father’s Day Fete.  There were loads of things for the kids to do there.  They had a small bouncy castle, face painting (you’ll see in the pics), draws and prizes and several Tombola’s including a couple for adults where you can win booze.  I got a bottle of wine.  The kids won several little toys and a drink.

After the Fete, we headed to Cambridge to the Town and Country show on Parker’s Piece.  We didn’t even know this was on, one of our friends mentioned it to us. There aren’t a load of pics of the various things going on there.. we should have taken more pics of the event.

There are a bunch of pics of the kids playing on some of the rides.
