Montessoris go to the zoo

My mammy went away on her long message with her friend Monica the weekend before last. I think that's one of the reasons why we haven't done a blog for ages.

But just before she went, we had our montessori zoo trip. And Mammy (or Mummy, Mum, Mam, Ma or whatever else I decide to call her) came with us. She didn't come on the bus. I sat beside Sean on the way to the zoo and beside Oisin and his Mammy on the way back. We had great fun.

We saw elephants (last years baby is bigger and there's a new baby but mostly we ignored them and ran up and down the viewing steps), we played hide and seek with sealions, we couldn't find the tigers, we ran along side the penguins. And then we had a snack and went for a toilet break and then we were all very tired walking around so it was time to go back to the buy and go back to the creche.

Jack and Charlie were over visiting us too with Auntie Susan and Uncle John. We had great fun playing. We got collected early loads and when Mam went away, Grandad came up too. We went bowling. I've never been bowling before. They have a special thing that little girls use to roll the balls. I got really good at it and got a spare. Riodhna had a go too.
