Lisa turns 5 years old today!  Happy Birthday Lisa!

Love Emma, Mummy and Daddy

Waking up this morning it was a spectacular day out there.  Not a cloud in site and nothing but blue skies and Sun, but cool, 14C on the outside temp. 

I decided to take the kids to the Linton Zoo, south of Cambridge.  We’ve been there a few times before.  It’s a nice little local zoo.  We heard a talk about the tigers they have, the youngest one which is just over 2 years old will be sent to Sweden for breeding.  Apparently it’s quite common for zoos to pimp out their animals for breeding purposes

Here are some of the pics from today, see the all the pics at Linton Zoo Pics

Today was the first day of Pre-School for Emma for this year and the first day for Lisa in the “big” school.  Both were very excited to get back and see their friends again.

From this year Lisa has to wear uniforms to school.  That’s a good thing.. uniforms are pretty cheap and it means no fighting with her on what she can wear for the day   Well she can decide between the 2 official uniforms of the school so it’s limited choices.

Sorry, no pics from the school.. it was was chucking it down with rain today and couldn’t be bothered.

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.
