The McKenzie’s Blog…

Today after I finished work, I decided I needed to get out for a walk.  Emma was sleeping and Yuki was hoping to get some sleep before she started work in the evening.  Lisa didn’t at all want to have a sleep.

So, I decided to take her with me.  The question was where too.  I decided to take her to Wicken Fen again.  We’d gone there before (Wicken Fen…) with Lisa’s school.  That visit was good for the kids but we didn’t really get to see too much of the place.  Today when we went back we’d ended up walking about 1.25 to 1.5 miles around part of the area.  Lisa had a good time but sure was tired.  Surprisingly she didn’t fall asleep on the way back home.

There are some pics and a video from the day HERE - here are some samples.

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.

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.

I’ve decided to start to use Flickr for my photos and videos.  I will keep the current gallery in place with the pics and videos we have now, but from now on I’ll be putting all new items into Flickr.

You can easily get to our Flickr page by going to:

Here’s a new video of Emma, and more can be found in The Kids Collection on Flickr.

I also shoved all the pics from Mull up on Flickr as well, they are here

We measured the kids today .. Lisa is now 108cm and she weighs 19kg. Emma is 86cm and weighs 12kg. 

The girls are both off school now until April 7 for the Easter/half term break.  The school is putting on an Easter Egg hunt party on April 26 and the girls will be going to that with their school mates and Yuki.  It should be good fun for them, hopefully Yuki will get some pics and we’ll post them to the blog.
