A Day Out

~ Joyce Mary J ~ 6 Comments

It was a perfect day yesterday to have an outing with my daughter and to mark the end of summer. We went to London to see it through the London eye, made friends with Shrek, Pinocchio, Cindrella, and Snowwhite and then dived ourselves to be a part of Sealife.

London Eye

If you are afraid of heights, try this!

Shrek Adventure

If you have children or you still have a child in your heart, I would highly recommend this. I really enjoyed this adventure of finding the ogre, Shrek. My daughter says that I’m the most kiddish mama in the world, and to be honest, I take that as a compliment! I don’t have any pictures to post as we were really busy saving ourselves from the witches who were chasing us and finding Shrek to protect us.

Sealife Aquarium

If you love sealife and can’t swim or dive, then it is the best place to be. We can learn about different varieties of sealife creatures and enjoy their wonderful presence too. I just really hope that one day I will be able to dive into the deep sea to meet them in their natural habitat. It is so peaceful and therapeutic.

I don’t know who enjoyed the most, me or my daughter but we had a great time together…

A Day In The Museum..

It felt good to spend a rainy day in the museum yesterday. The British Museum, London is one of the best museums in the world. Being in that place makes us feel how truly blessed we are as human beings when it comes to evolution, intelligence and talent.

British Museum is really huge and it may take a day to actually go through each and everything kept there. It’s good for children because my daughter enjoyed seeing antique clocks, treasure chest and sculptures.

I’m just going to share a few of the pictures that I took yesterday. Hope you will enjoy it.

Farm Day, Fun Day

When the schools are closed for summer vacation, then it’s the time to explore new places. As I come from a part of the world where we can find a mini farm in most of the houses, I was missing animals in my life. My daughter is an animal lover. “Mama, can I keep that cat?” “Mama, how about a dog?” “Oh! I love rabbits. They are so cute.” “Mama, can we keep chicks or ducks as pets.” These are just some of the examples that she asks about keeping a pet at home. So, we decided to go to a farm today.

The place is so beautiful and serene. A wonderful place for children as well as adults. My daughter loved feeding animals there. Another attraction for her was to find the fairies and their houses. The walk and the nature itself helped me to relax and calm my mind.

Sheeps came running as soon as they saw us. They knew we had their food and I had an excited kid beside me.

Those hens reminded me of my childhood. I had hens, Blacky and Browny when I was a kid. I still remember the day they died one after another because of some flu. My mom told the news when I came back from school. I did cry a lot on that day.

Ducks were hungry so as the goose. So, the goose decided to peck them all to have some food.

While, other geese were enjoying a lazy day.

Turkeys were into some show off mood today, I guess. To be honest, my daughter got afraid of them.

I loved these two and it was so much fun watching and especially feeding them. They are so adorable.

Those piglets reminded my daughter of her favorite character, Peppa Pig. They do love muddy puddles!!

In short, it was an absolute fun day!!
