Getting Out Of Hibernation!

Every year is the same, near the end of summer I promise myself I wont go into hibernation and that I'll still go out in the winter but come the start of winter hibernation sneaks up on me! Getting out of hibernation is hard too but I'm getting there! last week I went to the cinemas in clydebank with E & J which was great because it was saver tuesday all tickets were just £3.95! we saw 'Gullivers Travels' the only disappointing bit was mcmonagles chippy was closed for refurbishment so we had to find somewhere else to eat. during our day out last week E mentioned the tall ship and We agreed to do that this week so that's what we did today!
It was quite an adventure just getting there since neither E or I knew how to get there, but surprisingly after asking a few people for help, we made it without any problems!

As we stepped on board we noticed a school group was in so we ran fast and far! we hid below deck where there was plenty of space to run..


...and explore!

As we went even lower to the deck beneath the water, Teo continued to explore, climbing up stairs which were sectioned off.
The School Group was beginning to come down now so we decided to go back to the upper deck. There was plenty to explore up there, first a little peek out the window..

and isn't this an interesting seat?
Move! I want a turn!

This is great!

Now Teo's turn!

Then they found a bell to ring!

Joy tried with all her might!
But she couldn't get it to work.

Then with a little help from J...

She managed at last!

After exploring most of the upper deck they sat down for a rest

Until they heard a Strange sound.. then they climbed up onto the side to see a hellicopter Taking off, it was very exciting to watch! later we heard a similar sound and saw one landing too! but sadly while we were watching the helicopters E and I got told off for allowing our children to climb up on the sides, didn't we realize how dangerous that was?

We went through a door on the upper deck and found ourselves in the kitchen! Teo was delighted!

and Finally, after all that exploring a nap was definitely needed!

They had such a great time exploring the tall ship but poor Donald was rather hungry and desperate to get off the ship and have something to eat. But as we got off the ship we noticed a game to play and Donald had to wait a while longer for some food.

After something to eat the kids were all in a much better mood and ready to play some more! they found some clothes to dress up in!


I bought them a notebook and crayon from the gift shop for the journey home and Donald drew pictures about his day.

The Journey home was very quiet!

I'm now looking forward to another day out, I think it's safe to say I'm no longer in hibernation!
